Hedychium gardnerianum

Imposing foliage with strikingly exotic and truly deliciously fragrant yellow flowers, with exerted red stamens on pseudostems to 1.5m in this shorter growing, earlier flowering form. One of the most spectacular of all Hedychium, flowering in late summer/early autumn. Sun or semi-shade in a warm summer position in good soil. Glossy evergreen foliage if kept potted under cover for winter, though hardy and deciduous outside, especially if mulched.
