Has anyone on here grown the above?

A possibly useful link, just in case it might help you, Melv:

Yes. It seems to die off every winter but sprouts again in the warmer weather. I keep it in a pot on the window sill.

The only way I've 'grown' it is when I've left it in a cool dark place and it sprouts. I would like to try it as a plant.

[Barmaid]

Yes, Mr BM did and it was very good!  Much better than the stuff you buy.

Thanks for the replies. Going to give it a go in my new polytunnel,  the last one got destroyed in the gales😩

[Tilly2]

Buy a better quality polytunnel, Melv.

I have tilly. The frame on the last one corroded and snapped...hence the collapse. After many emails I managed a 50% discount. Never, ever buy an Outsunny product!

I'm enjoying a cup of spiced ginger and lemon right now, well until my coffee order arrives.

I have though grown Cannas  which are related.

Not me, but my Ginger Inlaws have.

All the way to grandchildren.
