Hedychium coronarium (White Ginger) - Green leaves grow in a single plane along 3-6 feet tall stems rising from stout rhyzomes. The leaves measure to 2 feet long and 5 inches across and are softly hairy on the undersides. The very fragrant white flowers bloom during the summer and fall. Plant in full sun (coastal) to light shade and irrigate regularly. It is a hardy Hedychium and noted as successful to USDA zone 7 (0-10° F). In cooler climates the foliage freezes down but it is evergreen in our nearly frost-free coastal garden.
The information about Hedychium coronarium displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
