Hedychium spicatum

More tousled in appearance with individual flowers opening over several weeks. This plant came to us from the late Patricia Marrow (of Papaver Patty’s Plum fame) at Kingsdon. They have thrived of late and we now have a very vigorous patch after being split up a few years ago.

Planting Instructions

Plant outside in sheltered sunny gardens, 14" (35cm) apart  or pot and protect in winter. Sunny site with enough water in summer. In frost prone areas, apply a deep winter mulch (approx 4" (10cm)  such as mushroom compost.
