Blue Ginger

Dichorisandra thyrsiflora  

Native to Brazil 

   Blue Gingers are cultivated for their striking blue flowers, but the foliage alone is gorgeous.. The flowers have three light blue sepals, three dark blue petals, and six stamens. The inflorescence is a terminal thyrse, a panicle with an indeterminate central axis. As long as conditions are conducive to blooming, the thyrse will continue to expand upward adding flower buds at the top.

Dichorisandra thyrsiflora, 'Blue Ginger' - gorgeous blue flowers not a true ginger.

      Blue Ginger or Dichorisandra thyrsiflora is a wonderful, tropical-looking plant which resembles ginger in growth and habit. This plant grows very well in the wild in Hawaii.

     The Blue Ginger (Dichorisandra thyrsiflora J.C. Mikan) is a member of the family Commelinaceae, the family of spiderworts. Blue Ginger is actually a relative of the wandering Jew plant. The stems grow to a 3-6 feet in height. The leaves are arranged spirally around the stem similar to Costus gingers.

Combined Discounts Won Auctions

For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.

         The additional charge for any phytosanitary certificate is not included in this offer.

         As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can’t really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

We ship via USPS Mondays-Wednesday with Delivery confirmation.

Payment must be received within 7 days of the auction ending.

Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.
