Care Guide
Planting Advice for Hardy Ginger Lily, Hedychium
- Plant the rhizomes into pots using a good soil-based compost such as John Innes No2.
- The rhizome should be placed horizontally just below the surface of the soil with the small reddish coloured buds facing upwards.
- Water well and then grow on in a frost proof place such as a cold bedroom or greenhouse before planting out when all risk of frost has passed.
- Alternatively, store the rhizomes in a cool, frost-free place (such as a garage, shed or unheated porch) until they can be planted straight out in the garden.
Aftercare Advice for your Hardy Ginger Lily
- Keep well-watered during the summer, but dry during winter.
- Outside, the rhizomes should be covered in the autumn with a deep, dry mulch, or dug up and brought inside and kept in a frost-free place until the spring when they can be planted outside again.
