BR>Hedychium Coronarium Ginger. This perennial white ginger comes from Asia and the Himalayas. It regrows every year from its strong rhizome, like other species of the ginger family. The annual stems will grow to five or six feet high, the leaves are elongated, two feet long. The inflorescences are born as dense flower heads, pure white and wonderfuly fragrant. The white ginger enjoys heat and humidity, growing in wet areas, even on rather poor soils, but will of course beneficiate in cultivation of some fertile compost. It will stand a semi-shaded position but will flower better if grown in sunny place. A winter rest is essential, at which time only the rhizome will remain, which water needs are obviously very low as leafless. Watering will have to start again as the heat builds on, the plant being partial to water. Available February 2007. The export of this plant is prohibited at the moment by the goverment of India. Limited stock of our own grown stock available.
