The entire shape of the bloom and flower stalk is said to resemble a torch, hence the plant’s common name. These showy plants flower seasonally on bare flower stalks with cone-shaped flower heads surrounded by large, slightly drooping bracts (petal-like leaves). On the plant’s upright stems grow leathery leaves that are around 3 feet long with a central groove. The flowers of torch ginger are used for floral arrangements, as well as in cooking for their sour-sweet flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-2\" class=\"comp text-passage u-how-to-title-align mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"\u003eTorch ginger has a fairly quick growth rate and is best planted in the spring.
