Post #2535516

Does anyone have any idea how to make an Alpinia purpurata bloom? I have had some for many years both in containers and in the garden. They have never been frozen back by winter. They are about 4 feet tall in the garden and have spread to about 3 ft. at the base. The stems are crowded but I have thinned them in the past and still no blooms.
