Soil: Rich, moist, well-drained soil; benefits from regular watering and mulching
Light: Partial shade to full sun (best flowering in bright filtered light)
Height in the Garden: 3–5 ft
Attributes: Rhizomatous, herbaceous perennial with slender, bamboo-like stems and narrow, lance-shaped leaves. Produces delicate, fragrant, pale yellow to creamy white flowers in loose spikes during late summer to early fall. Flowers are often smaller and more finely arranged than in other Hedychium species. Notes: Flowers are highly fragrant, attracting pollinators like butterflies. Dies back in winter in cooler zones but regrows from rhizomes in spring. Excellent for naturalizing in shaded, moist areas with good drainage.
