Hedychium densiflorum 'Assam Orange'

The #hedychium-assam-orange are in flower and have spread well over the years. Started as a single stem 🧡

So gorgeous 🧡

Unusual and beautiful

Keep looking at these 👍🏻

Thank you @jacaranda @joanboston and @juliesgarden stop looking at them and get one. They’re hardy 😉

Oh really .. enough said 😂😂

Not hardy to -15 so not for me, sorry

#hedychium-assam-orange has spread quite a bit this year not that I’m complaining 😀

The gingers are coming in to flower #hedychium-assam-orange 🧡

It's lovely. Super colour 🧡🧡

Love these, mine failed, it wasn't a cheap bulb either 😬

These have gone a bit mad @pelly Loads of stems have popped up (looks a bit messy but I'm not complaining)

I’ve never tried these. Are they easy to grow, Julie? And are they scented? 🤔😘

No I wouldn’t either 🧡

Not scented unfortunately but these are hardy and easy to grow. Didn't mulch them last year and they've all come back and spread out a bit @jacaranda

Love these, do you bring yours into the greenhouse for winter, I seem to be reading conflicting information? 🤔🤔

This one is hardy but if you leave it in the ground it will flower later than if you bring it in. The one above was overwintered in the greenhouse as it was bought late last year. The one I left in the ground is just starting to show the beginnings of buds @pelly

Thanks Julie, I might take mine up this winter as it’s not in the best place 👍👍

https://www.bethchatto.co.uk/plants-for-general-conditions/hedychium-densiflorum.htm. @pelly says fully hardy and that's where I bought it from 😉

Thanks again Julie, I’ll leave it then and move it in the spring 👍😘

The gingers are coming out to play too #ginger-lily-assam-orange 🧡

#latebloomer #ginger-lily-assam-orange really coming into its own now 🧡🧡🧡

That's stunning 💕

Stunning !

Good morning all, a nice dry start to a busy working day. #ginger-lily-assam-orange is finally showing her colours 🧡🧡🧡

Good morning Julie. Now that's a beauty ....love the colour. Going on my 'wish list' 👋☺👌

Morning Julie, I love this, I'm really beginning to think that orange is the new pink. Do you have to overwinter this inside? 🤔🤔

Morning Julie, wow love that 🧡🧡 don’t work too hard 😘

Thank you @flof1952 @pelly @juliesgarden This one is hardy Jane. Bought from Beth Chattos last year and it's stayed outside 🙂 Orange is definitely the "in" colour 😂

It’s lovely🤗

In that case it’s going on my wish list, thanks Julie 🧡😘

Fabulous flower, fabulous colour❤💛

Afternoon all, #ginger-lily just starting to produce flower buds #green

👏👏💛

An end of season sale purchase from Beth chattos garden last year @suerichards 😉 My other ginger is showing no signs of buds yet. I was going to move that last year into this sunnier border and forgot 😂

I am so glad you have put this on here! I saw these at Kew and the plaque had broken so I couldn’t find out what it was! Life saver!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That was handy Dan 😂 Was that in the glass house at Kew ? I went last year and fell in love with so many plants 😍 @dan5584

@vec it wasn’t actually, which I was surprised at. They were outside and had clearly been in the ground a long time judging by the size and spread of them! 🤔

Mine is outside too @dan5584

#gingerlily #assam #orange

Love this Julie @vec 👌😍😚

I bought it at Beth chattos garden @jadojado29 you could have had one too 😂

I thought it was Julie @vec would have had one but haven't got anywhere to put it yet need to move things about it struggle to get the plants in I brought & one of those is in the wrong place 😚
