Receive 4 Ginger Plant 3-6 Inches. Potted in a 2.5 Inch container. No Bloom. A symbol of Hawaiian royalty Not only does the kahili ginger look cool, but they smell great as well. The 'kahili' gets its name from the fact that it resembles the royal cylindrical emblems that would accompany ancient royalty. Strong growth - Kahilis grow fast, and they grow prolifically. Often, the roots begin growing right out of the package before they can be purchased. So if you're worried that these will "never grow" where you live, remember that you've seen the proof: Kahilis can 'make it there' so they can make it (nearly) anywhere. It's up to you.
