Eileen Macdonald Ginger — Bulk Buy (5 Plants)
A Reliable Landscaping and Cut Flower Favourite
Eileen Macdonald is a genuinely popular ginger for good reason — it’s as reliable in the garden as it is in a vase. This compact, clump-forming variety consistently pumps out flowers in good conditions, making it a dependable choice whether you’re planting for landscape impact or a steady supply of cut blooms for the house.
Compact Size, Big Performance
Staying under 2 metres, Eileen Macdonald forms a neat, well-behaved clump rather than sprawling — perfect for gardeners who want a ginger with real presence without the space demands of larger varieties. Its size makes it just as suited to a smaller garden as a larger landscaped bed. This is a commercial cut flower variety.

How We Pack
Every plant is soaked in a tri-kelp solution before packing to reduce transit stress and give your plants the best start. We pack using recycled boxes. Your plants travel secure, hydrated, and wrapped in materials we feel good about.
Where We Ship
We ship to QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC via Australia Post eParcel with tracking on every order. Flat rate shipping applies — see checkout for rates to your state. We are unable to ship to WA, SA, TAS or NT at this time.
When We Ship
Orders are picked and packed weekly. During extreme heat, we may hold your order for a cooler shipping window to protect your plants in transit — if this happens, we'll let you know via email. We don't ship into known heatwave conditions.
When Your Plants Arrive
Open your box as soon as possible. Even a few hours in a hot letterbox or on a doorstep can stress tropical plants. Give them a good drink of water and a light foliar spray of kelp solution, place them in a shaded spot for a day or two gradually increasing light to recover from transit, then plant out or pot up into their permanent position. Most plants bounce back quickly — new growth within a few weeks is normal. for more information https://elarishtropicalexotics.com.au/2026/07/25/what-to-do-when-your-mail-order-plants-arrive/
