Bottlebrush Ginger
Hedychium coccineum
Bottlebrush Ginger, also known as orange bottlebrush ginger, hardy ginger, orange gingerlily, or scarlet gingerlily, is an herbaceous perennial plant native to the Himalayas, including parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar. It is a popular ornamental plant, grown for its tall, exotic foliage and showy, fragrant flowers that range in color from salmon pink to orange. Plants bloom in late summer with long-lasting, cylindrical flower spikes reminiscent of a bottlebrush that emerge at the top of each stem.
This robust, clump-forming plant can grow to reach six feet high, even in cold winter climates where the plant dies down to the ground. With time, clumps can reach several feet in diameter and are easily divided. Bottlebrush Ginger grows best in full or part sun and with regular watering. This captivating ginger is quite hardy compared to other gingers and blooms reliably in temperate climates. Bottlebrush Ginger makes a stunning focal point near patios or walkways where the scent of the blooms can linger.
Cold hardy to USDA zones 7b and above, or to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
