Ohio Hardy Ginger - Zingiber mioga | Limited Release for Pickup Now

Hardy | Partial Shade to Shade Loving | Deer-Resistant

Meet Myoga Ginger, a beloved and somewhat secret treasure from the ginger family. Native to the woodlands of Japan, China, and Korea, this perennial plant brings both beauty and flavor to the garden. With tall, graceful tropical foliage reaching up to 6 feet, it creates a lush green backdrop—yet its real magic is at it's roots. Literally!

In late summer to early fall, Myoga Ginger surprises you with delicate pink-and-yellow flower buds that peek out at the base of the plant. These early buds are the part you harvest—before they open into blooms. In Japan and Korea, they’ve long been treasured as a seasonal delicacy, often pickled, sliced into miso soup, or pan-fried alongside meat for a zingy kick. Their unique gingery flavor is bright, aromatic, and completely unlike the common ginger root most of us know.

Unlike traditional ginger, Myoga’s root isn’t just a culinary prize—it’s the foundation that allows this hardy, shade-loving perennial to thrive and expand year after year.

Whether you’re drawn to its cultural history, its unique edible flowers, or simply its striking foliage, Myoga Ginger is a plant that invites you into a story—a little piece of Japanese woodland tradition that can now thrive in your own garden!
