Planting Advice for Hardy Ginger Lily, Hedychium

• Plant the rhizomes into pots using a good soil-based compost such as John Innes No2.
• The rhizome should be placed horizontally just below the surface of the soil with the small reddish coloured buds facing upwards.
• Water well and then grow on in a frost proof place such as a cold bedroom or greenhouse before planting out when all risk of frost has passed.
• Alternatively, store the rhizomes in a cool, frost-free place (such as a garage, shed or unheated porch) until they can be planted straight out in the garden.

Aftercare Advice for your Hardy Ginger Lily

• Keep well-watered during the summer, but dry during winter.
• Outside, the rhizomes should be covered in the autumn with a deep, dry mulch, or dug up and brought inside and kept in a frost-free place until the spring when they can be planted outside again.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
