After the harvest season, can ginger be left in the ground for following season of growth?

Gardenate does not suggest growing ginger in NZ temperate climates, maybe not warm enough. If you are going to try to grow it read the notes here, your answer is in the notes.

I had a piece of ginger which began to sprout so planted it for fun and grew on a window sill in our shed. It got to about 2 feet tall so I dug it up and got some juicy little corms or bulbs or whatever, which tasted lovely.
