Hedychium ‘Elizabeth’ Hardy Ginger

Clusters of fragrant, pinkish orange blooms with salmon butterfly marks and long stamens flower mid-summer into fall. Tropical looking plants, their sharply pointed, lance-shaped leaves appear on strong stalks that arise from thick rhizomes.

This Asian perennial gets big, rising up to 9′ tall and 5-10′ wide, so make sure to give it plenty of space in the garden. Attracts butterflies.
