Aframomum sp. Uganda is a rare, tropical ginger species known for its unique edible fruit and striking ornamental foliage. This hard-to-find species belongs to the same family as cardamom and galangal, producing fruit pods that are not only visually stunning but also rich in flavour, commonly used in African cuisine and traditional medicine. The plant thrives in warm, humid conditions and can be grown successfully in pots or tropical gardens.
This variety is an excellent choice for rare fruit collectors, permaculture enthusiasts, and anyone looking to add a tropical edible to their collection. Its lush growth habit makes it an attractive feature plant, while its practical use in cooking and medicinal applications adds to its value.
Aframomum sp. Uganda thrives in moist, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. It prefers high humidity and benefits from regular watering during hot months. Best suited for tropical and subtropical regions but can be grown in a warm greenhouse or as a potted specimen in cooler climates. Protect from frost and strong winds.
