The Hedychium coronarium, White Butterfly Ginger

warm weather it can flower year-round.
Height
The White Butterfly Ginger
is a medium sized plant with long drooping leaves that may reach 5 to
6 ft. can be used for container planting in strong
light.
Habitat
Full sun to partial shade. Partial shade will encourage height.
Needs moderately moist environment. Avoid the soil becoming totally dry.
Cut Flower
Not much of a cut flower candidate as the flower is short lived

floating flower arrangements and as decoration of a food table.
Very desirable for its fresh and sweet scent.
