I’m sure that most people think ginger is a tropical plant that couldn’t possibly be grown in Canada, but you can grow it year-round regardless of what zone you live in.

Can ginger grow in cold climates?

Ginger planting is ideally done outside in late spring or early summer, but can also happen indoors in late winter or early spring. It is essential not to leave this tropical plant out during the cold season because it cannot withstand temperatures below -10ºC or 14°F (zone 8).

Can ginger plant survive winter?

If you plant in growing zones where it CAN flourish, ginger will go dormant during the winter months, triggered by less light and colder temperatures. Then it will come back in the spring, without a worry.
