Ginger - Zingiber - also Cautleya

Dear Mark and all,
This reminds me of other tries and losses: Hedychium never
did well in pots for me and died in the ground. Tried 3 or 4 sorts.
Roscoea - can't tell how many of these I've grown from seed
or plants and killed. Nothing even close although I have seen them
growing lushly in just slightly warmer climates.

Never tried Cautleya, but would appreciate experience from
other growers. Googling suggests Zone 7 and warmer.

Anyone grow it in colder climates. Best
Jim W.
