Very fragrant white and peach colored Ginger Lilys in flower.

🌱 white Butterfly Ginger #Hedychium coronarium has a gardenia and vanilla fragrance even in this cool October air. The orange one also has a gardenia and peach-like scent. They are both hardy here in zone 7.

#Hedychium ‘Assam Orange’ is still the first to bloom !
Always a delight with the Japanese maple behind (Acer dissectum ‘Garnet’ ) 🌱

🌱
#Hedychium ‘Tai Golden Goddess’ reminding us why it deserves its prominent position in the greenhouse.
Lovely scent at a reasonable height (some require a step ladder to enjoy!)

🌱
I suspect that one of the most talked about plants on our open day on Sunday for the National Gardens Scheme will be this amazing ginger, #hedychium ‘Elgar’ (currently unofficial name) it’s a hybrid of H. ellipticum & H. gardnerianum.
Scented and hardy it is glorious!

Hedychium densiflorum ‘Stephen’

Hedychium densiflorum ‘Sorung’

Hedychium ‘Tara’

Hedychium ‘Pink Hybrid’

🌱
We are moving into ginger season:
#Hedychium densiflorum ‘Stephen’
H. densiflorum ‘Sorung’
H. ‘Tara’
And H. ‘Pink Hybrid’ - wonderful scent like the flesh of a peach. The other 3 have very little by way of scent. More wonderfully fragrant varieties to follow!

#Hedychium something… one of the #butterfly #gingers. They smell fantastic!!!
