About
Hedychium coronarium is a tall, bold ginger with bright green leaves and stem. The underside of the leaves are covered by small hairs. The showy flower is why you grow this ginger - it is large, bright white with a pale green throat. The scent of coronarium is probably the best of all hedychiums, a magnificent gardenia like fragrance, particularly strong in the evening.
Origin
Himalayas- India, Bhutan and China

Best planted in full sun or light shade in moist, humus rich soil. It will respond well to feeding throughout the growing season. Plant deep and give a good mulch for winter protection, or to guarentee full protection you can lift part of the corm and store it frost free during winter.
