The native blue berry ginger (Alpinia caerulea) doesn't have flashy flowers but still does the 2 things I like about gingers in the landscape: spread to fill a space quickly (care required with exotic gingers near moist bush areas) and add texture to a border with stepped leaves on erect stems. Throw in a display coming through now of edible blue fruit (left) and a form from around Atherton with red-backed leaves (right) and there's still plenty of show.

Plant seeds into egg shells full of seed raising mix. When they're ready to plant, just crack the bottom and plant the whole thing!
