'Anne Bishop' is a hardy ginger that produces large clusters of fragrant orange-yellow flowers with orange stamens in late summer or fall. Flowers will have deeper colours in more heat.

Though the rhizomes look similar it's best to just eat the culinary species. Makes a good container specimen in colder climates.
