Description
This Hedychium Collection is made up of: Hedychium coccineum 'Tara', Hedychium densiflorum, and Hedychium gardnerianum, large exotic perennials known as Ornamental Gingers or Longoses. These native plants to tropical regions of Asia, are renowned for their exotic appearance and ability to adapt to various climates. They are appreciated for their spectacular fragrant flowering from August to October, as well as their lush deciduous foliage in winter. These rhizomatous plants grow well in rich, moist-remaining soil throughout the growing season, but with good drainage. They thrive in full sun or partial shade. Stunning in large pots or in a tropical-inspired border.
The collection consists of:
1 x Hedychium coccineum 'Tara': this variety of ornamental ginger reaches a height of 1.20 m (4ft), with spikes of fragrant yellow-orange flowers. It is distinguished by its glaucous foliage and good frost resistance, down to -15°C (5°F) under a thick protective mulch.
1 x Hedychium densiflorum: reaching a height of 1.30 m (4ft), this species produces dense spikes of orange or yellow flowers. Its shiny green foliage provides an attractive visual contrast. Its stump can withstand temperatures down to -10/-12°C (14/10.4°F).
1 x Hedychium gardnerianum: with a height of up to 1.50 m (5ft), this species known as "Kahili Ginger" is characterised by its lightly yellow flowers with red stamens, which are highly fragrant, and its abundant dark green and glossy foliage. It is slightly frost-sensitive (-7°C (19.4°F)).
Individually labelled.
Planting should be done in March or April, in humus-rich, moist, but well-drained soil. These plants can be grown in borders or containers. For Hedychium coccineum 'Tara' and H. gardnerianum, maintain a spacing of 60 cm (24in) from other plants, while for Hedychium densiflorum, allow for 80 cm (32in) due to its potential height. Taller plants, such as Hedychium gardnerianum, should be placed in the background for optimal visual effect.
In the garden, a tropical-inspired border can be created by combining these ornamental gingers with Salvia guaranitica 'Black and Blue', a Chinese windmill palm, a Japanese banana tree, against a backdrop of giant cannas.

Planting and care
Hedychiums are plants that are more or less resistant to cold. As soon as the first frosts arrive, prune the foliage down to the ground and then mulch the stumps with a thick layer of dead leaves or fern fronds. You can also dig up the stumps and treat them like cannas. Choose a warm and sunny location, sheltered from strong winds. In partial shade, Hedychiums tend to grow taller. The soil should remain moist throughout the growing season, from spring until early autumn. A rich, deep soil with good drainage is best suited for them. They can also be grown in large containers. In this case, store the plant in a frost-free, bright, unheated area during winter. Watering should be reduced in winter and increased from spring to summer.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
