Hedychium Gardnerianum
Originating from India and the Himalayan foothills Hedychium gardnerianum is a lush-looking exotic even without such a triumphant flowering display. Fragrant, leafy, semi-tropical perennial herb up to 4-5 feet tall. It is a robust plant with huge inflorescences, Hedychium gardnerianum has bright yellow blooms with red-orange stamens and a delicate fragrance. Flowers from July through October. Flower heads are about a foot tall and some 6 inches across. Long, bright green, lance-shaped leaves, 20 cm long by 10 cm wide. Hardiness zones 9-11, (5C/40F, -5C/25F) in Winter. It prefers a warm, frost-free climate although it will grow outside in temperate areas that have light, infrequent frosts. For best results, provide a rich, moist, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade and with protection from cold winds. In frost-prone areas, either grow in containers or give Winter protection.

Germination Soak the seeds for 2 hours in hot water. Soaking is beneficial in two ways; it can soften a hard seed coat and also 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 (20§C/68§F, 25§C/77§F). 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 not too hot, but cooler.
