:07: What a great deal on a great plant. If I didn't already have them, I'd jump on it. You're right. Especially if the breeze is blowing across them toward you, the aroma is over whelming. :nanerwizard:

Great plant - I have a ton of them, and between them and the lemons - the garden smells gorgeous! Everyone should have some so I hope you are rushed off your feet!

Hey D&T,

I believe they are hardy 7a (0f - 5f).
I have some I plant in the ground and then dig back up and pot for the winter. I didn't get blooms, but started them from rhizomes in june.

Re: FS - Hedychium coronarium - White Butterfly Ginger
 

I grow them here in Z6, N.E. Oklahoma. I'll throw a 6" pile of leaves over them till spring. After pulling them off and the sun warms up the soil around them, they grow & multiply like crazy. They out due any I winter over in pots every time. I tried wintering some in the ground without mulch twice and none survived. A little mulch goes a long way.

Re: FS - Hedychium coronarium - White Butterfly Ginger
 

can they grow year round in a pot in the house? or do you plant in the ground and then bring it in? its a pretty plant.

Re: FS - Hedychium coronarium - White Butterfly Ginger
 

Thanks for the info TonyO... I think I may have to leave some in the ground next year!

I haven't really tried leaving mine inside all year, but they do ok for my in a pot near a window during the winter. They didn't grow a lot, but didn't water them much either. Maybe someone else can help you out a little more. I also have Hedychium 'ayo' that get's the same treatment.

Re: FS - Hedychium coronarium - White Butterfly Ginger
 

I'm in South Florida so I dont have to worry about the cold, I leave it outside all year 'round. I dont know much about its requirements up north, or how it fares indoors, etc. Google is your friend, though!

Re: FS - Hedychium coronarium - White Butterfly Ginger
 

My Hedychium Luna Moth, which looks pretty much identical to Jarred's plant there has been inside for 3 weeks now and is finally blooming like crazy! The fragrance of the flowers is really intense indoors with little air circulation!

Hopefully it will survive 6 months indoors!
