Early Lemon Beehive Ginger (Zingiber spectabile ‘Early Lemon’)
A Superb Cut Flower Beehive
Early Lemon opens with clean, bright yellow bracts that age through to a bold red as the flower matures — like most beehives, the older flowers grow longer and deepen in colour, giving a single clump a genuinely layered, changing display over time. Early flowering compared to other beehives, it’s widely regarded as one of the very best beehive gingers for cutting.
A Standout in the Vase
If you love fresh, unusual flowers for arrangements, Early Lemon is hard to beat — the striking colour shift from bright yellow to red gives you real versatility for cut flower work, with fresh new blooms and older, deeper-toned ones both worth cutting depending on the look you’re after.

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/
