Hedychium aurantiacum" or "Orange Ginger", is a slender ginger that grows wild in the Himalayan region. It is similar in form to "Hedychium coccineum", the red ginger lily, but has orange bottle-brush like flowers. It may prove to be hardy in the UK over most winters in sheltered locations. The stems of the plants exhibit streaks of red, adding to its interest. This is a plant of horticultural interest, but has close affinities, botanically, with "H. coccineum".External links
