Asian ginger or Japanese ginger ‘Silver Arrow’ (Zingiber mioga), deliciously aromatic, with proven hardiness at the nursery north of Rawdon, in Lanaudière. With such a gem on your doorstep, you’ll want to cook with enthusiasm. It’s surprising that an exotic plant like this grows here in the boreal shade, where its silvery reflections, brushed on the leaves, will stand out well through lush greenery. Enough to transport you to an Asian jungle.
