Hedychium coronarium (Hardy White Butterfly Ginger Lily)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10 60" tall Origin: Tropical Asia

Open House/Web-Only! This is the real attention-getter in late summer and fall as the rich, honeysuckle-like fragrance pervades the evening air from the 2", butterfly-like white flowers. The stalks emerge from a thick, slowly growing rhizome and grow through the spring and summer. In late summer, the pinecone-like buds form atop the stems. Soon the flowers emerge, a few each day, to perfume the air until the first heavy frost...ooh la la! Pot size: 3 qt. (2.83 L)
