Hedychium coccineum
Hedychium coccineum
Price: $18.00 In Stock

Division
Hardy Ginger. Dormant shipping only on these big bare-root divisions. This is a distinctive Ginger from Northern India, Nepal and Bhutan. We are enamored by the narrow foliage and strong sense of the vertical. In milder climates this is evergreen but we lose the foliage here in the winter. A late warm fall is needed for the orange-red flowers and we just.talked to a friend in Seattle who wanted to know if we wanted any Hedychium coccineum seed as his finally set seed. It always blooms but this was the first year it fruited. Simply not fair that they should be that much milder then us when we can stand on the beach here at Pt Wilson and see Seattle across Puget Sound. I am never going to come to terms with these geo-proximal inequities. By the way, mulching in winter is a good thing if it gets cold.
Hedychium densiflorum - orange
Hedychium densiflorum - orange
Price: $22.00 In Stock

Division
Dormant divisions only. One of the most satisfying and reliable of the hardy Gingers. We've grown this Nepalese beauty for years now and it always blooms in mid to late summer with flowers of the most gentle orange. This is a good increaser in moist loose soil and looks marvelous in half sun or bright shade. This does not need a long warm Fall to flower but relishes our cool pseudosummers here in the Puget Sound. We mulch ours in the fall to keep frost for reaching the rhizome and basically other than that we just water and feed it. Very low care. These are big bare-root divisions.
Hedychium aff densiflorum KCSH 0386
Hedychium densiflorum KCSH 0386
Price: $25.00 In Stock

Division
Bare - root dormant shipping only. An exceptional collection by Steve Hootman, Ken Cox and us of one of the finest Hedychium species for our area. We collected the same species in the same area on the same trip as part of the NAPE expedition and the collections were merged under this number. This is an early and consistent bloomer with rich tangerine-orange dense flower spikes in late summer and early fall. Rich moist soil and mulch if winter is severe to keep frost from the rhizomes. This is significantly different from the other densiflorum we offer being much more robust and taller to 5'. It also blooms about 6 weeks later with deeper orange flowers packed much more closely together. This is very happy in our shade garden. Similar to and perhaps indistinguishable from Frank Kingdon-Ward's collection called 'Assam Orange' as he beat us to this remote area by 70 years. Quite a gap between collections! These are big divisions.
Hedychium gracile
Hedychium gracile
Price: $18.00 In Stock

Division
Hardy Ginger. Dormant shipping only. Big bare-root divisions of this Himalayan species which makes nice clumps of 4' stems with very showy flowers. The flowers are white with amazing long pinkish orange stamens and are fragrant at night. This is best mulched in winter removing the mulch in spring as the rhizomes are shallow and we don't want to see frost getting down to the rhizomes. Rich and moist.
Hedychium spicatum NAPE 119
Hedychium spicatum NAPE 119
Price: $25.00 In Stock

Division
A hardy Ginger relative from our seed collection just a long days drive from the Tibetan border. Narrow petals of white and peach are floral whimsy and always manage to coax a smile out of us. The unscented flowers compensate for that lack by having one of the showiest seed displays in the genus. This collection seems to be distinctly shorter than other forms of spicatum we grow. Mulch in winter. These are big divisions and will be sent as dormant and bare root plants only so spring shipping.
