Hedychium gardnerianum – also known as Kahili Ginger – is a stunning tropical perennial prized for its vibrant yellow flowers with red stamens and intoxicating fragrance. Native to the eastern Himalayas, this exotic plant thrives in warm, humid climates and is a favorite in ornamental gardens for its lush foliage and dramatic blooms. Blooming in late summer to early fall, it attracts pollinators and adds a bold, tropical flair to any landscape. However, in some regions, it is considered invasive due to its vigorous growth and spread. Ideal for garden borders, containers, or tropical-themed plantings, Hedychium gardnerianum is a showstopper with both beauty and fragrance.
