hedychium

White Ginger, Butterfly Ginger Lily. This is the most fragrant of all gingers and one of the symbols of Hawaiian Paradise. In the summer it bears fragrant flowers that resemble butterflies. It is popular in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands were it is used in leis or singly worn in the hair or behind the ear. It also makes a good cut flower great for scenting the home. It is a tough plant, a light freeze may kill the tops, but it will come back in the Spring.

With its attractive long green leaves with a slight fuzziness, this ginger has open long spikes of pastel yellow flowers with a beautiful heady aroma. Similar in appearance to the White Butterfly ginger (H. coronarium). Exquisitely fragrant!

Spectacular variegated leaf variety with orange flowers! From the late plant breeder Dr. Moy of the San Antonio Botanical Garden comes this new hybrid with white paint-like speckles covering the otherwise green foliage. In September, clumps of Hedychium Dr. Moy are topped with fragrant, peachy-orange flowers with a darker orange throat. Exquisitely fragrant!
