There are two unrelated things that are called ginger.
_Asarum_ a small herb of eastern forests and _Zingiber_ a big banana-like
thing of the Old World tropics. I presume you could germinate the ginger
we cook with (Zingiber) or order it from a plant catalog. _Zingiber_ gets
big, is not frost-tolerant, and needs a lot of water. They grow it outside
just fine in the wetter parts of Hawaii. I don't know why they have the
same common name. Anyone?
