Zingiber zerumbet has a pretty unique inflorescence. The liquid produced between the red bracts is fragrant, has a gel consistency, and is used as a mild cleanser. That's where it gets its common name, shampoo ginger. 🧼 It has been used in hair care for centuries, and shampoo ginger even has edible rhyzomes, just like our typical grocery store ginger. 🫚 Look for our shampoo ginger in the Lea Asian Garden, and remember to be gentle if you want to give it a squeeze. 🫂 | Naples Botanical Garden
