Plant Family

Costaceae

1 plant in database

Costaceae in this database spans zones 9-11 with 1 species, so design it as a guild component instead of a monoculture block. Use its strongest role (Edible) intentionally and manage spacing for airflow because there are lower shared pest pressure in this family. Anchor it in the Herbaceous layer and pair with unrelated support species in other layers; if you save seed from multiple cultivars, isolate flowering plants to reduce accidental crosses within the family.
