Hedychium

South East Asian members of the ginger family, forming big plants by late summer. They are sun lovers with broad green foliage and hollow stems. All parts smell of ginger to some extent. The flowers are sweetly scented. Hardier than one might expect, ours have survived past winters outside with a mulch, H. coronarium is more tender and would need winter protection of some sort. All these by division.
