Asian ginger or Japanese ginger ‘White 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 white-variegated leaves will stand out beautifully through lush greenery. Enough to transport you to an Asian jungle.
