  • Plant when danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed.
  • Plant just below the service in well drained soil, in a sunny position.
  • Water in well after planting and keep moist in the growing season.
  • Better in pots or containers, making it easier to move to a warmer location indoors when it gets cold.
  • Hedychium need planting horizontally.
  • Best overwintered in a warm location, such as a conservatory or warm greenhouse.
