Up to 12" high spikes of large, up to 4" wide, soft lemony yellow, fragrant flowers with matching stamens and filaments are produced in mid to late summer atop the tall stems reaching up to 9' high. Giant Hybrid Yellow Ginger,a hybrid Hedychium, developed and introduced by Aloha Tropicals in their goal to produce exceptionally large flowers and we are impressed by both the size of the individual flowers as well as the nice honeysuckle like fragrance. It's magnificent height makes it a prime choice for the back of the border or landscape but not too far from a path so you can enjoy its fragrance up close. The flowers of the large type Hedychium gingers can also be used for fresh cut flowers once the flowers of the spike have begun opening. Provide this vigorous ginger with a rich, moist, and well-drained soil for optimum growth and flowering. Item# 13042
