Alpinia zerumbet

Alpinia zerumbet ‘Variegata’, also known as Variegated Shell Ginger or Pink Porcelain Lily, is a tropical perennial grown for its bold green and yellow striped foliage that creates lush, dramatic texture in landscapes or containers. It forms upright clumps, adding vertical interest and tropical flair, both as a houseplant and in landscapes in zones 8-11. Mature plants may produce shell‑like white and pink‑tinged fragrant flowers when grown in appropriate outdoor conditions that hang gracefully from the stems, offering additional ornamental appeal.
