Description
Hedychium densiflorum, established in a 2 litre pot. This is an attractive pale form.
Hedychium densiflorum is a fully hardy ginger lily, and an easy and reliable performer for the garden. Flowering is more or less guaranteed each year once established. Something that cannot be said for many of the other Hedychium species in the UK.
Hedychium densiflorum appears to be very variable and several named cultivars exist. We obtained this plant as ‘Assam Orange’, but the flowers are much too pale for that particular cultivar. Instead, we are offering it simply as a pale form of this variable species.
These plants are nicely established in their pots and absolutely ready to get going once planted – a much better way to buy this lovely plant compared to dormant and dried out rhizomes commonly sold eleswhere.
Reaching a height of around 4 feet, this is a superb plant for a sunny border in rich soil.
