Hedychium coronarium bulbs are known for their attractive, butterfly-like flowers, surrounded by green foliage and held up by lance-shaped stems. Multiple blooms can be found along the stem, boasting a vibrant orangy-red hue and a strong scent.
Optimal growth of Hedychium aurantiacum requires damp and fertile soil and exposure to full or partial sunlight. Consider planting in a sheltered location to safeguard against strong winds and promote sturdy stem development. This plant is an excellent choice for naturalizing an area due to its efficient spreading via creeping underground rhizomes.
