Kahili Ginger [Hedychium gardnerianum]

Product Description

Aloha! I’m Kahili Ginger, known in Hawaii for my show-stopping flower spikes and sweet tropical fragrance. My golden-yellow blooms with reddish-orange stamens bloom tall and proud — just like the kahili feathered standards once carried by Hawaiian royalty, which inspired my name.

I was introduced to Hawaii in the 19th century and have become a beloved addition to island gardens and floral arrangements. I can grow up to 6 feet tall and am a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies when in bloom!

My fragrance is intoxicating, my foliage lush — and while I take time to mature, I’ll bring you island magic year after year with the right care.
