Hedychium
gardnerianum ~ Kahili Ginger
|
| Hedychium gardnerianum will
produces striking creamy yellow flowers with red stamens during the late
Summer and into Fall. Kahili Ginger grows
best in light shade with moist well drained soil. The Kahili Ginger
will grow in full sun near the coast, but requires some shade in inland
gardens. Plants are normally 4-5 feet tall but can grow to 7 feet in
favored conditions. For such a tropical looking plant Hedychium gardnerianum will
tolerate a surprising amount of drought when planted in the ground.
Some plants survived summers without supplemental water in coastal
gardens. Hedychium garnerianum will tolerate a
light frost but will show the effects of it until the new shoots pop up.
Plants are root hardy to 15 degrees
