The Hedychium flavum (Lemon Ginger Lily) is an elegant Ginger lily addition to your garden. Its lightly fragrant, pale yellow blooms add a soft touch of color to your garden especially next to its dark green leaves. With their bold, tropical foliage and delightfully fragrant blooms, Hedychiums—also known as ginger lilies—bring exotic elegance to the garden from midsummer into fall. But what makes them truly irresistible is their diversity: by mixing different varieties, you can extend the bloom season, play with color and texture, and create layered interest that evolves throughout the warm months.

Scott Ogden in his book Garden Bulbs for the South says that Hedychium "show a special affinity for the balmy, sometimes steamy climate of the South...While climbing temperatures exhaust the wills of lesser plants, these robust exotics grow and blossom ever more profusely. For gardeners in the warm South, a summer without the opulent charms of gingers would be insufferable."

What to expect: Hedychium put on its foliage in early spring. The flowering canes will also shoot up from the rhizomes themselves in late spring. The blooms on the Hedychium flavum rarely seen in most gardens, but add a wonderful touch of color and fragrance to your outdoor area. The pale, 2" yellow blooms appear on spikes 6-12" long on the canes at their appointed times. The dark green foliage on the "Lemon Ginger Lily" has a smooth texture that makes the upright, long, sword-like leaves appear lush. Hedychium is deciduous and will begin to die back with the first frost in the cooler zones.

Planting Requirements - Sun and Water: Hedychium does best when planted in full summer sun in zones 8-11. Yes, you read that correctly -- full summer sun! By planting in full sun the plant will get full of foliage. It will still do okay with at least 7-8 hours day of summer sun. Zone 11 may want to consider a few hours of afternoon shade. If it gets too little sun, it will try to reach for the sun and not be as full. Plant the rhizomes in well-drained soil on their side with the tips no more than 1" deep or almost visible with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 4-6 feet and several feet wide. Ginger does have water needs. If you want it to perform, be sure that you water them well during hot and dry summers: however, do not plant them in continually soggy areas as this can damage the rhizome. Don't let the soil go completely dry for long periods of time either.

Containers: You can grow the ginger in pots which means you can have it in zones colder than 8, but be sure to bring it in before the first frost. The foliage is excellent for container gardening. Be sure to pay attention to watering your containers though.

? Can Hedychium Grow in Pots? → Yes! And Very Well. - space your rhizomes 4-6" apart and cover with 1-2" of soil.

Container Tips Details
Pot size Minimum 12–16" wide and deep for 3-5 rhizomes; larger for established clumps
Drainage Essential—use pots with drainage holes
Soil Rich potting mix with compost or slow-release fertilizer
Watering Water regularly to keep soil moist, but not soggy
Light Bright indirect light or morning sun; dappled shade ideal
Overwintering in Cold Zones Move pots indoors (sunny window or dormant garage), or let go dormant and store cool/dry
Re-potting Every 2–3 years or when clumps become crowded

Blooms and Foliage: Hedychium (Ginger Lily) foliage is one of its standout features—lush, tropical, and architectural. The Hedychium flavum folige is a rich tropical green. It is a dense foliage with long, full, lance-shaped leavesl. The plant will grow between 4-7 feet tall and several feet wide when at full maturity. This alone adds a great architectural aspect to your garden. Sometimes you'll need to trim it up or tie it up to keep it from spilling into unwanted places. If you love creating your own centerpieces, you will enjoy adding cuttings of the foliage to your arrangements. The flower spikes can be 6-12 inches long and sometimes even longer on well-established happy plants. The flowers usually open sequentially from bottom to top on the spike. The pale yellow blooms are airy and bright which are perfect for those hot summer days.

Mulitplying: The Hedychium multiplies nicely. It is not aggressive. It forms nice clumps over time, and it won't take long to see yours multiply. It should double in size about every 3 years if planted correctly, and you can divide them at that time which will manage their spread, give them space to expand, and rejuvenate growth. Spring is the best time to divide them before new growth begins. Make sure that each portion will have at least one pointed bud.

Animals: Pollinators love Hedychium. We aren't always sure if it is because it is solely based on the fragrance or also because the ginger lily is one of the few flowers blooming in late summer and early fall when so many flowers can't withstand the summer heat and have long faded. Bees and butterflies are attracted to this Hedychium. Most Hedychium are moderately deer resistant due to their aromatic rhizomes and coarse foliage, but young shoots may be nibbled at in early spring if food is scarce, and deer have been known to eat plastic flowers. Generally, Hedychium is resistant to squirrels and rabbits.

Differences: We decided to put all of the information at the bottom of the page so that you could see at one glance some of the differences, especially blooming times, between the different Hedychium varieties.

The most well researched book about Section 230 and free speech on the Internet
Format: Hardcover
Many are calling for regulation of the tech industry. This book does an excellent job of outlining the “it’s not that simple” aspect of the debate. Some say big tech is doing too much to silence legitimate conversations and others say they are not doing enough to combat hate speech and false information. Regardless of which side you fall on it is important to know the history and this book is a well written account. Professor Kosseff does an excellent job of both presenting the history of Section 230, but also mixing in his well reasoned opinions about how we should proceed. Most importantly posing the question of if you don’t want big tech regulating the internet, you better think long and hard about who you do want, and what that will look like. This should be a mandatory read for any tech reporter who even utters the words “Section 230”. Thanks for the information.

The book that might save the internet
Format: Hardcover
The level of misunderstanding about Section 230 in media and government is astounding. All they have to do is read Kosseff's book to clear up their misunderstanding. The New York Times made a colossal mistake confusing Section 230 with the First Amendment. I hear media people all the time thinking they can't moderate comments because of Section 230 (the opposite is true). I see politicians going after Section 230 because they think it is the root of the net's problems (they are dead wrong). Section 230 is our best protection of free expression and human dignity on the net, for as Kosseff clearly explains, it is intended to enable the public conversation (by not making platforms -- including news organizations -- liable for what others do on their sites) and it is also intended to empower platforms and media companies to moderate what people do on their sites to their own standards. The law is short and clear and is vital to the future of the net and the public conversation on it. Kosseff puts forward an excellent history of the development of legislation and case law on free expression in books, movies, and other media. He talks with the creators of Section 230 and explains their goals and motives. He outlines the debate about the law. That debate is now reaching a critical phase in both media and Washington. Thus Kosseff's book is a document of urgent importance. I wish some rich person would come along to buy every member of Congress and every news organization a copy so they don't keep screwing this up.

Please use a larger font
Format: Hardcover
Over 60 and sometimes have a difficult time with too small print? My advise .. either read it on an ebook or skip this one. I read the first chapter despite the small font size that made it a little too difficult to read. While I found it informative and well worth reading I'm probably not going to read anymore and return it to the library. Mass market paperback books with small print I can understand. Hardback non-fiction books (which are generally read by an older crowd I suspect) make no sense to me. 5 stars for the content I read. 1 star (generously) for the font size.

Great review and analysis of a law that underpins the Internet
Format: Kindle
This book provides a detailed history of how section 230 if the Communications Decency Act came to be, its importance and its problems as the industry of the Internet matures. While it is ultimately a defense of that law, it is an eyes wide open look at it as well. It is not a prophet's telling of what to do, but instead an informative read that gives the reader an ability to assess what might be done to address the issues 230 raises.

Dealing with complexity
Format: Kindle
Section 230 is a simple effort to govern what must be the innovation of our time. This account is a great effort to explain the accomplishments and challenges that simple can allow.
