White Torch Ginger Rhizome/Etlingera Elatior (Single Shoot)

The White Torch Ginger, scientifically known as Etlingera elatior ‘White Torch’, is a distinct cultivar of the well-known Torch Ginger. Like its red and pink counterparts, it is a herbaceous perennial plant that grows from a rhizome, which is an underground stem that spreads horizontally. This rhizome is the source of both the tall, leafy shoots and the separate, leafless flower stalks. The rhizome itself is a part of the plant’s root system, serving as a storage organ for nutrients and a means of vegetative propagation.

While the rhizome is not typically the focus of the plant’s ornamental appeal, it is a crucial component for its growth. The rhizome of a White Torch Ginger is similar to that of other ginger plants—thick, fleshy, and fibrous. It is the part of the plant that is planted to grow a new torch ginger. From this underground rhizome, the pseudostems (stems made from tightly wrapped leaf bases) and the flower stalks emerge. The plant’s ability to spread via these rhizomes allows it to form large, clumping colonies over time in its native tropical environment. The “white” in its name refers to the stunning pure white, waxy bracts of its unique inflorescence, which rises on a separate stalk directly from the rhizome.
