Myoga (Japanese Ginger)

I planted Myoga (Japanese Ginger) rhizomes (roots) a few days ago and starting to see a sprout.

The roots I brought were already starting to sprout, so no surprise they started to pop-up so quickly. Myoga is a perennial and propagates by creating new rhizomes near or at the base of the parent plant, like Garlic Chives and Ginger. Myoga does not like direct sunlight and grows best in a shaded area.

Myoga flower buds appear at the bottom of the plant.

Myoga flowers buds should be picked before they begin to sprout for optimum tenderness and aroma.
