Hedychium
coronarium flavum Seeds
Common name: Creamy Ginger
Species: Hedychium coronarium
Hardiness Zones: 8-11
Scarification/Stratification: No
Germination:
Soak the seeds for 2 hours in hot water. Soaking is
beneficial in two ways; it can soften a hard seed coat and leach out any
chemical inhibitors in the seeds which may prevent germination. Sow at
1/2″ in pots or trays of moist seed compost. Place in a warm place and
keep at a constant temperature of between (20ºC/68ºF, 25ºC/77ºF). After sowing,
do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost
moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 2-6 weeks, it can take
longer, don’t give up. The plant is healthier if grown in an area not too hot,
but cooler.
Description:
Hedychium coronarium flavum, the Creamy Ginger Lily, is
widely appreciated for its odorant flowers. It grows on forest edges and in
grassland of mountain areas of China, India, and Thailand. It grows up to 2
meters tall. The inflorescence is erect and up to 20 cm long. The flowers are
white and yellow with red-orange stamens and are very fragrant. The long strap
leaves are blue-green, smooth-textured, and about 60 cm long by 10 cm wide. The
foliage is persistent if the plant isn’t exposed to frost. Hardiness zones
8-11, (5ºC/40ºF, -10ºC/15ºF) in winter. It prefers a warm, frost-free climate
although its rhizome can survive temperatures as low as -10°C. In colder areas,
either grow in containers or give winter protection. For best results, provide
a rich, moist, well-drained soil, and with protection from cold winds. It
prefers partial shade or partial sun; if kept in shade, it grows taller. It can
tolerate strong sunshine.
