Re: Hedychium gingers and crinum
I haven't checked in lately but lo and behold I find that your Luna Moth has bloomed Joe! That's great! No the flowers don't last that long but when you get a clump of hedychiums going, you can catch that scent wafting on an afternoon breeze and it's magnificent. Drought has played havoc with mine this yr. I was doing fine with watering until the 2 straight weeks of 100 deg weather in August. I didn't poke my head outside unless I had to.
Saltydad yes your ginger looks like it has too much sun. Moving to a little more shade is an option but I find that my gingers in particular are stunted and don't grow to the heights that they do in full sun. Once your gingers are established, water them like you would a banana, they can't get enough.
