Alpinia nutans

Dwarf Cardamon Ginger is a dense, clumping, Evergreen Indoor Plant. Great for low borders. White flowers. Grows to 1-2M x 60cm wide.

Alpinia nutans is a species of ginger plant in the Zingiberaceae family. It is commonly known as “False Cardamom” or “Dwarf Cardamom” due to its fragrant leaves, which resemble true cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), but it does not produce the same edible seeds. Here are some key details:

  • Flowers: Attractive, white with yellow and red markings, growing in small clusters.

  2. Culinary – Leaves are sometimes used to flavor dishes or tea.
  3. Medicinal – Traditionally used in folk medicine for its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
  4. Aromatic – Crushed leaves are used for their pleasant fragrance.
