Awapuhi Red Shampoo Ginger aka Pinecone ginger Starter/Sprouted Plant
Zingiber zerumbet

Listing is for 1 starter/sprouted ginger plant grown in a 4 inch pot. The leaves/stems can be 5 inches or longer. If the plant has very long stems, I might have to cut them to fit into the shipping box. Please be aware that these are tough plants and cutting the leaves or if the stems get damaged while shipping - the plant is ok, it will bounce right back and grow new leaves/stems.

Shampoo ginger is native to Hawaii. The ginger relative produces gorgeous red pinecone red flowers. The ridges of the flowers fill with a clear and fragrant liquid which naturally has saponins in it. Therefore it is commonly used as a natural hair shampoo or moisturizing hair mask treatment. The liquid does have a slight ginger fragrance. The flower cones will refill with water if left on the plant after squeezing. It is propagated via rhizome pieces not seeds. I like to plant ginger in containers or grow bags to control their spread. They spread under ground thru their rhizomes.

When will my shampoo ginger plant start flowering? The rhizome system needs to get bigger and mature to be able to out put flowers. Please expect 1-2 years  for the first blooms (if grown in ideal conditions).

Shampoo Ginger goes dormant during the fall & winter. This tropical ginger goes dormant and loses its leaves during the winter. It will sprout new leaves in late spring. Then it flowers during the summer. 

Soil: Shampoo ginger doesnt require the best soils, but grows very well if planted in compost. I also grow it in my native Florida sandy soil without any amendments and it grows great. 

Sun: Shampoo ginger grows best in partial shade. If the leaves look yellow and burned, its getting too much sun.

Cold Hardiness: Grows in USDA garden zones 8 and up. In zone 8, it is a requirement to heavily mulch the plants to protect the rhizomes under the ground from freezing. If the rhizomes freese - then the whole plant will die. In garden zones 9 and up, it is fine to plant outside without additional precautions. If your in a colder zone plan on brining this plant indoors for the winter. You can cut all the stems/leaves out and just leave the rhizomes intact in the soil, but still need to bring indoors to protect from the cold. 

How to Plant
I recommend that you pot up the plant in a 1 gallon container so you can monitor its growth. Use potting mix or compost. Once it has developed a bigger root system, you can plant it outside or change to a bigger sized pot.

Shipping Information

SEEDS

  • Seeds can be shipped to states within the USA. No shipping to outside of the USA is available.
  • Orders ship within 1-3 business days, not including weekends, holidays, or delays caused by natural disasters.
  • If my local USPS/UPS office is closed, for example due to inclement weather like a hurricane or snow storm, then I resume shipping the very first day they re-open.
  • I am not open to the public so shipping is the only option.
  • Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers to ensure that they are not pushed through roller machines which can crush the seeds. For this reason, I do not ship in a plain envelope.
  • Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.

PLANTS & RHIZOMES

  • I can only ship live plant products within the USA.
  • I only use USPS Priority or UPS shipping if an order contains live plant products. This is to ensure they are not in transit for a long period of time.
  • Orders with plants will ship the following Monday after the order was placed.  This is to ensure live plant products have the longest stretch of week days while in transit, and don't get stuck in the post office over a weekend or holiday. If Monday is a holiday, then we cannot ship, and orders are held to ship the next Monday.
  • If there is inclement weather, such as snow storms or hurricanes impacting shipping routes, I will hold from shipping orders until routes have cleared. I am located in Florida and frequently get impacted by hurricanes during hurricane season. I resume shipping as soon as my local post office opens back up or the inclement weather has passed. 

DELIVERED BUT NOT FOUND

  • If there is an issue with your delivery, like tracking says "delivered" but you cannot find your package, contact your local USPS office immediately as they should be able to help you locate the package. Or wait a few days, as customers have reported back to me that the package shows up a few days later even though it says "delivered". I am not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen.
  • If it has been a full 7 days after tracking says delivered, and the pakage still has not shown up or arrived, please email me at info@jerrasgarden.com so I can engage the help of USPS/UPS with locating the package. Do not wait more than 14 days after delivery to let me know because then USPS/UPS cannot really help. If the lost package is reported to me beyond 14 days after delivery - I cannot help and I will not ship a replacement. 

Refunds & Exchanges

Refund & Return Policy
All sales are final once an order has shipped. Due to the nature of live plants and seeds, we do not accept returns or offer refunds once items have shipped, except in the limited circumstances outlined below.
Seeds: Since there are many factors beyond our control that affect germination and growing success—including climate, soil conditions, watering, and care—no refunds or exchanges are offered on seeds once they have shipped. All seeds sold are fresh, viable, and the same seeds we use in our own personal garden.
Live Plants: Live plants are non-refundable and non-replaceable. Orders containing live plants are typically shipped the following Monday or Tuesday after the order is placed, and we are unable to hold plant orders for shipment at a later date.
Cold Temperatures: If you are located in a cold climate, please be aware that during the winter months we are not responsible for cold damage during transit or delays caused by winter storms or severe weather. To help reduce the risk of cold damage, we recommend placing plant orders during times of the year when temperatures in your area are warm enough for safe shipping.
Many of our customers are located in warm or tropical climates, where we are able to ship plants year-round. Because we ship a high volume of orders, we do not have the ability to filter or hold orders based on the destination’s weather conditions or climate. For this reason, it is the customer’s responsibility to consider their local weather and growing conditions before placing an order for live plants.
USDA Garden Zones: Customers are responsible for selecting plants that are suitable for their growing conditions. Each plant listing includes information about the recommended growing conditions and USDA garden zones, and we cannot guarantee success if plants are purchased for areas outside of their recommended zones.
We gladly offer a replacement if a plant arrives dead upon delivery.

To be eligible for a replacement:

  • You must contact us within 24 hours of delivery
  • Email info@jerrasgarden.com
  • Include clear photos of all plants in the order, including packaging if possible

Reports made after 24 hours of delivery will not be eligible for a refund or replacement. We are unable to replace or refund plants reported outside of this timeframe, as plant health after delivery is influenced by factors out of our control such as handling, environmental conditions, and care once received.

Shipping Issues

We are not responsible for lost, delayed, or damaged packages caused by USPS or UPS once the package is in the carrier’s possession. Shipping carriers are responsible for transit-related issues.

DELIVERED BUT NOT FOUND

  • If there is an issue with your delivery, like tracking says "delivered" but you cannot find your package, contact your local USPS office immediately as they should be able to help you locate the package. Or wait a few days, as customers have reported back to me that the package shows up a few days later even though it says "delivered". I am not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen.
