Mature ginger rhizomes (as sold in the grocery store) will generally be ready to be harvested in about 10-12 months, or after the leaves die back in the fall/winter. When harvesting, you can choose to harvest the entire plant or you can just cut off what you need and allow the plant to continue growing.
Do not eat ornamental gingers. The common edible ginger, Zingiber officinale, has the flavor we are looking for when a recipe calls for ginger. Rhizomes purchased at the supermarket as fresh ginger can be planted just below the soil surface of a shady, well-prepared bed in early summer and will grow here.
