If you live in USDA zone 7 or higher, you can grow ginger root in the ground (though in all zones but zone 10, the leaves will die in the winter).

Similarly, can you grow ginger in the Midwest?These plants are not native to the Midwest, and therein lay the challenge. I allowed the ginger to set out and protrude into small bulbs before planting them about an inch below the surface of the soil.Likewise, when should I plant ginger? Planting. Sprouting ginger requires warm soil. The Hawaii Cooperative Extension Service recommends planting ginger seed pieces in early spring, as early as March. Hawaiian soil temperatures at this time of year are generally in the low to mid-70s. Correspondingly, can I grow ginger from the store? If you purchase root ginger from the store, get rid of the growth inhibitor that is used for commercial purposes. It allows fresh ginger to be shipped and stored without growing. Always keep in mind to provide enough water to the root in well-draining soil. Always grow from a rhizome, not from the seed.What temperature does ginger grow in?For short growing seasons, ginger should be started indoors and transferred outside when temperatures reach at least 70° F. Soil temperatures should be greater than 68° F before planting or transplanting ginger plants. Ideal temperature when planting is about 77° F.
