A colourful mixture of decorative ornamental Gingers. Lush, exotic foliage gives rise to stems featuring racemes of sweetly scented blooms in an array of tropical colours. Can be grown in the UK like Cannas, or in a conservatory. Plants will flower in the second year from sowing and are fully hardy in southern parts of the UK. Height: 120-180cm (4-6ft)
Ginger Lily will add an exotic look to your garden and create a wonderful display of scented blooms each year from late summer onwards. Zingy spikes of blousy flowers will tower above clumps of lance-shaped leaves, instantly transporting you to a tropical paradise! Don't forget to breathe in deeply as the heavily scented blooms carry a stunning sweet fragrance particularly in the early evening! Despite its exotic good looks, this plant is completely reliable in the UK - the tubers will over-winter successfully and thrive in a sun baked spot in a pot or planted directly in the soil. Top Tip - plant very shallow on surface of compost in hot sunny spot to get going, they love being baked to get started.
