In flower this week is the amazing ginger lily, Hedychium ‘Flaming Torch’…our 1999 introduction, with its’ fragrant peachy flowers is still looking great! This is another of those plants that never sold particularly well, so we haven’t offered it since 2016. Winter hardiness is Zone 7b and warmer.
How did I miss this one when you did carry it for sale? I love it! Hope at some point you will carry it again. Your catalog description says it blooms twice, in July and again in early fall? Awesome! PS Is it fragrant?
I couldn’t detect much if any fragrance.
