Pinecone Ginger (Zingiber zerumbet), a native southeast Asian plant, is a popular tropical garden plant.

It grows as a long, thin stalk, that ends in a cone-shaped bract with small yellow flowers.

Also called shampoo ginger, the cone contains a milky substance that is used as a shampoo ingredient.

Depending on the source, suitable USDA Hardiness Zones for the plant range from 8 - 11. As a tropical, it requires consistently moist soil.
