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 ball is also durable and can withstand the enthusiastic chewing of our playful pup. One of the standout features of the ChuckIt! Sport 18M Dog Ball Launcher is its exceptional throwing distance. It allows us to launch the ball far into the distance, providing ample space for our dog to run and fetch. This extended range adds a fun and challenging element to our playtime, keeping our dog engaged and excited. The durable construction of the launcher is commendable. It has proven to withstand rigorous use and outdoor play, making it a reliable and long-lasting investment for our dog's entertainment. Additionally, the launcher's compatibility with other ChuckIt! balls makes it a versatile tool for various play styles and preferences. Whether it's a bouncy rubber ball or a flying disc, the launcher can handle them all. Moreover, using the ChuckIt! Sport 18M Dog Ball Launcher has strengthened the bond between our family and our dog. It encourages interactive play, providing an opportunity for us to engage and connect with our furry companion while promoting exercise and healthy physical activity. In conclusion, the ChuckIt!

Essential kit for those with fetch dogs
Size: 18in, Style: Sport
Now in our 3rd year, my Brittany and I are down to about 40 fetch tosses a day, some 14,600 tosses a year. The Chuck It launcher wears well, so, figure at least 5 years of use, for 73,000 tosses. That makes for a terrific value! There are several key benefits of the Chuck It launchers: One is that you can chuck the ball further than you can throw, which allows you to exercise your dog more easily. The second is that you can pick up and launch the ball without touching it, which means NO slime! And, the Chuck It also gives extra reach when you have to retrieve a ball from sticker brambles. Those are great features for anyone with a fetch dog. If you also happen to have a weak arm or shoulder, the Chuck It launchers provide nice throwing options. I generally throw underhanded. I can't get the full potential range, that way, but, I still get good, long tosses. I curl my second finger above the last bump on the handle, and use a good wrist flick along with arm swing. I've seen others throw side-arm with the Chuck It. I had originally written a second review for the longer 25M Chuck It. Either I, or Amazon messed up, and it looks like I can have only this one review. So, here are my additional thoughts on the 25M: I bought the 25M so that I could throw the ball even further! The good news is, you really can chuck further, with the longer chucker. The bad news is, those longer throws do require more arm and shoulder strength than when using the 18M. This becomes more obvious when you've done 3 or 4 dozen throws. I would recommend the 25M only for those with the youth and/or strength to get the most out of it. Otherwise, I'd say, go with the 18M.

This thing takes fetch to a whole new level—effortless long throws, hands-free pickup (no more slobbery tennis balls!), and a comfortable grip that makes playtime easier and way more fun. My dog absolutely loves it, and I love that it helps her burn off energy without tiring out my arm. The included medium ball is the perfect size for medium to large dogs, and the durable construction means it's built to last.

My Niece dog loves it!
Size: 18in, Style: Sport
This ball launcher takes a bit of getting. used to, but it is really helpful for those of us who are not MLB pitchers! The launcher itself is a sturdy plastic that is not brittle yet not soft; when the ball is launched there is no destructive bending in the shaft. The handle is padded and ergonomically sound while the cup end cradles the ball but has cut-outs on each side for easy loading and unloading of the ball. It did take a bit of practice for me to get the hang of it, but for my husband and son it was much easier. The launcher works well to help us older, non-gifted athletes launch the ball farther and faster while saving the shoulder, elbow, and wrist (important if there is any arthritis). The ball fits nicely into the cup and releases easily. The 2.5 size was too small for my Doberman, so we opted for the 3.5 in launcher. This smaller launcher and ball are now in the employ of my sister and her husband for their retriever-border collie mix, an 18 month old little fireball!. This is just the right size for her. My sister's husband has difficulty with arthritis and is neither quick on his feet nor able to stand very long. So the launcher comes in very handy. He can actually sit in a lawn chair and throw the ball repeatedly when their dog retrieves and returns it to him. That is a win- win! Top 3 Likes: -Easy to use -Helps older pet owner -Drives the ball farther and faster Top 3 Dislikes: -With repeated uses the edges of the launcher appear to get scuffed and scratched -Some ingrained staining on the edges persists requiring scrubbing to remove -There is a mild worry that with time the launcher may snap
