Hedychium
gardnerianum tara~ Tara Ginger
|
| Hedychium gardnerianum
tara will produce striking pale orange flowers with red stamens during the late
Summer and into Fall. Tara Ginger grows
best in light shade with moist well drained soil. The Tara 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. More so than the other gingers Hedychium
gardnerianum tara requires regular water. Without it the canes flop
and seem to get tangled in the surrounding foliage. Hedychium garnerianum
tara 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
