There are several names for the "White Ginger Lily". See which one you have heard...Hedychium consanguineum, Hedychium coronarium, 'White Butterfly', Garland Flower, Hardy Ginger Lily, Hardy White Butterfly Ginger Lily, White Butterfly Ginger Lily, White Ginger. The "White Ginger Lily" is not a lily at all. It is actually from the Zingiberaceae family.

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."

This fragrant beauty graces some of the most charming and historic landscapes across the South. It blooms in late summer and early fall and fills your garden with one of our favorite summer scents. Imagine the famous painter Audubon pinching off a flower as he walked along the gardens of Oakley Plantation, where he taught art as a tutor. Visiting the plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana, today many still see the ginger lily blooming with all of its glory in the fall. With its lance-shaped leaves and gorgeous white blooms, ginger is an elegant addition to your garden.

The "White Ginger Lily" is a treasure for those of us in zones 8-10. This lovely bloom graces us with fragrance and form during the heat of August. It can provide an exquisite backdrop to lower-growing flowers or make a bold statement all by itself in a large area. Be sure to plant this in a location where you can enjoy its fragrance.

Fragrance: The "White Ginger Lily" has one of the most exquisite fragrances. It is used in perfumes, essential oils, and much more. This ginger lily is known for its fragrance in the garden or in your house. This is NOT the ginger that you want to put on your food. This fresh-scented flower blooms from late summer through autumn.

Foliage: If we had to sum up the foliage of the "White Ginger Lily" it would be large and in charge. The foliage on the White Ginger Lily" is dramatic enough to write home about. The greenery will grow up to 5 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. Every garden needs a few of these if for nothing else to cut and bring the blooms inside!

Planting: The "White Ginger Lily" does best when planted in full summer sun in zones 8-10. Yes, you read that correctly -- full summer sun! By planting in full sun the plant will get full of foliage. It will do well with at least 8 hours a day of summer sun. 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 almost visible or even with the dirt. Plan on planting in a location where the plants can grow comfortably to their full height of 5 feet and several feet wide. It will multiply and fill your garden with blooms and greenery. This perennial will die away in the winter but return in the spring.

Containers: Even though it gets tall and lush, the white ginger lily is a great candidate to be planted in containers:

  • It has shallow roots for a ginger.
  • It tolerates being somewhat root-bound.
  • It produces tall, lush foliage and fragrant blooms even in a container.
  • You can move it around your patio or balcony for natural interest and fragrance.
  • Allows those in zones colder than 8 to have it.
  • Easy to bring in and store during the winter since it is dormant.

Tips for Success in a Pot

  • Pot Size: Start with at least a 12–16 inch wide pot (or larger). Bigger = more rhizome space = more blooms.

  • Drainage: Essential. Use a pot with good drainage holes and well-draining soil (rich but loose — not soggy).

  • Sunlight: Prefers bright, filtered light to part sun. Can handle full sun in cooler zones, but in a pot in zones 9 & 10, it likes a little filtered sun.

  • Water: Keep evenly moist during growing season, but not soggy. In dormancy (winter), reduce water.

  • If you're in a colder zone (below USDA 8), growing it in a pot makes overwintering easier — just let it go dormant, cut back foliage, and store the pot in a cool, dry, frost-free place.
  • You can lift and divide rhizomes every 2–3 years if it becomes crowded

Water: The "White Ginger Lily" 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.

Other uses and interesting facts:

Pollinators love the "White Ginger Lily." 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.

The "White Ginger Lily" is used in essential oils and perfumes. The scent of the ginger lily is used to help calm and relax people.

The flowers are used as garland in Hawaii and Japan. In China, the ginger lily is used for both medicinal and ornamental purposes. It is the national flower of Cuba. In the tropics of Hawaii the "White Ginger Lily" is considered invasive, but in the temperate zones of 8-10 in mainland United States, it isn't because it goes dormant during the winter.

Super cute and soft!
Color: Pine Green, Color: Pine Green
I really like this case. I was surprised by how soft it is! It arrived in perfect condition (just like the photos), no smell, keyboard worked. I followed the sellers instructions to charge before use. I gave it one less star because personally don’t care about the keyboard, it’s a little on the slower side when using the mousepad or typing. I didn’t have any issues with connecting. It was an easy setup. I’d suggest you spend the money for a laptop or a true keyboard if you need it. This is more for looks. If it wasn’t for the quality of the case, I’d probably return.

Good protection for my ipad
Color: Sky Blue
Flap to close is magnetic, so it stays closed. Has a spot for the open for the ipad. Keyboard is a handy feature to have, and love that it lights up.

Case quality is great, but keyboard is disappointing
Color: Mulberry
The quality of the case is really great. Plum color is beautiful. However, the keyboard is not the best quality. The keys are not sensitive enough and you can easily misspell words if you don’t click a key hard enough. The trackpad shortcuts are cool but inconvenient since you can turn off the shortcuts. You can turn off the trackpad but that just doesn’t work for me.

Economically priced ipad case
Color: Mulberry
There's absolutely no way you could find a better ipad case with a wireless keyboard for this price. My daughter loves it. I was expecting it to feel a little cheap because of the price. I was wrong, this is a great find... thanks

Cute but beware of buttons with a mind of its own.
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
Super cute. Only has 3 keyboard multicolor options and one white light setting. Dimmable. But its functionality needs work. But the keys keep doing weird things like skipping lines, changing excel sheet formatting and just moving where I am typing on it own. Like it will be typing and then move to the beginning of the sentence and keep moving. The feel is super light and the quality of the case is great though. It’s easy to use and install to device with Bluetooth. Value is you get what you paid for. This keyboard is cute but not working quite well. I accidentally ordered a different model for a later iPad and had to return it, but based off of a leader model in comparison to this one, the keyboard just isn’t that great
