Please find for sale 30+ Pink Torch Ginger seeds (Etlingera Elatior)

This a standout show off tender perennial for a conservatory, patio or other sheltered spot! It produces magnificent, long torch-like spikes with stunning pink flowers. Although native to Asia, this plant is relatively straightforward to grow in the UK - needs rich, well draining soil, around 3 hours sun a day and protection from the wind for this flower spikes. If growing in pots, can be brought inside over winter. I also sell the pink flowered version.
