Hedychium coronarium
Butterfly Ginger
This tall herbaceous perennial spreads by rhizomes. It bears showy spikes of very fragrant white flowers with a greenish or yellowish blotch. It blooms in summer on terminals of tall plants with long corn-like leaves and spreads in rich moist soil in sunny or semi-shady areas. It is easy in good soil with enough moisture and will grow in shallow water. A popular plant in warm climate gardens but relatively winter hardy with mulch. Native to India but often called Hawaiian Ginger Lily.
