Noted for its intense, luxurious fragrance, award-winning Hedychium coronarium (White Ginger Lily) is an upright rhizomatous perennial boasting dense spikes, up to 8 in. long (20 cm), of very fragrant, white butterfly-like flowers in late summer and early fall. Each flower lasts about one day, but several hundred flowers can appear during a 6-week period. The deliciously scented blossoms are borne at the tips of upright stems and rise above the foliage of mid-green, lance-shaped leaves, up to 2 ft. long (60 cm). Even when not in flower, White Ginger Lily looks great on patios or decks with a tropical theme. One of the nicest gingers for the home landscape and containers.
