The sweet-smelling ginger originated in India and was introduced to Hawaii by the early Polynesian settlers. Its leaves, stalks, and roots have been used for cooking, hygiene, and medicinal purposes. The beautifully scented ginger (Awapuhi Ke’oke’o--white ginger or Awapuhi Melemele—yellow ginger) is sewn through an open bloom (length-wise and on top of each other) to create a simple, stylish lei. This lei is a sentimental favorite among many local Hawaiians! Tip: For a more upscale appearance, order two or more strands and have them twisted into one lei! Also try ordering a dual color twist for a chic look! See Ginger: Two Strand Twist
NOTE: Please note that purchasing fragrant flowers such as Tuberose, Ginger, Pikake, Plumeria, and Carnations during the summer months is done at your own risk, particularly for shipments to the Midwest and East Coast. These flowers are highly sensitive to heat and can be affected by elevated temperatures during transit. While we take every precaution to package and ship them as carefully as possible, we cannot guarantee their condition when temperatures soar.;
Care: Refrigerate in sealed plastic bag or container. Handle flowers as little as possible before usage.
