Hedychium speciosum is one of the more striking blooms in the Hedychium family with pale, butterfly-shaped, yellow-orange flowers with long filaments which add to its exotic look. The fragrant flowers bloom on a dense upright flower spike, and make your garden truly take on a tropical feel. Speciosum means "showy" or "beautiful" and this absolutely lives up to its name. This ginger lily combines vivid unique blooms with tall, lush foliage. 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 speciosum (Showy Ginger Lily) are pale with yellow-orange and red marks. The large, orchid-like flowers are shaped like a butterfly with long filaments. The fragrant flowers bloom around August on a dense upright flower spike. The foliage on the Hedychium speciosum is a deep green with almost a bluish tint. The leaves are 12-24 inches long and can be 3-5 inches wide as they stand tall. This Hedychium will grow to be 4-6 feet tall which will look great in large containers, mixed borders, or as a focal point in your garden. 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 3-5 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" 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 speciosum (Showy Ginger Lily) folige makes you think you have stepped into the tropics. The foliage on the Hedychium speciosum is a deep green with almost a bluish tint. The leaves are 12-24 inches long and can be 3-5 inches wide as they stand tall. This Hedychium will grow to be 4-6 feet tall. 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 butterfly-like flowers will bring a pop of color in late summer to your garden when most everything else has faded away. The blooms on the Hedychium speciosum (Showy Ginger Lily) are pale with yellow-orange and red marks. The large, orchid-like flowers have long filaments. The fragrant flowers bloom around August on a dense upright flower spike.

Mulitplying: The Hedychium multiplies slowly. 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 and occasionally hummingbirds 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.

Pillow case
Color: White, Size: Body
Here is another example of a review about a pillow case that matches your description: I ordered this pillowcase because I needed a pillow case on my special body pillow-that was long, cozy, and soft. I was not disappointed. These pillow case are made from 100% organic bamboo viscose, which is hypoallergenic, breathable, and silky smooth. They have a special shape that fits my extra-long pillow perfectly, and it doesn’t slip off or bunch up. This is also very easy to care for, as it is machine washable and wrinkle resistant. I like chose the white one because it looks elegant and fresh. This pillowcase definitely worth the price, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a high-quality pillow case that is long, cozy, and soft.

Wonderful pillow and products!
Color: White, Size: Body
I've been using the Snuggle-Pedic pillow for a couple of weeks now, and it is fantastic. It's soft, but the foam is firm and full. It is clearly extremely well made. Everything from Snuggle-Pedic appears to be top quality, right down to the extra little instructional inserts they include with their products. I also purchased the Zipper Removable Cover to make laundering easier. It's just as well made as the pillow. In fact, it's exactly the same as the cover on the pillow except removable due to the zipper. I'm also using the Snuggle-Pedic Organic Cotton Pillow Case, and it too is extremely well made, soft and comfortable. I was a little hesitant about the pillow case when I saw the picture because it almost looked ... too soft for me, sort of like a fleece blanket. Maybe that was just the way I saw the picture, but it's not actually like fleece. It's very soft and comfortable and does stretch a little as opposed to a regular pillow case, as they say in the description, but in a good way and appears very durable. I was concerned that it would stretch out and twist around the pillow, but it doesn't do that at all. It has stayed perfectly fitted to the pillow. From what I've experienced, everything in the descriptions of the Snuggle-Pedic products is true, and all three pieces work perfectly for me. This is the most I've spent on an individual pillow, but I couldn't be more pleased, and I'm planning to replace all my pillows.

Cool Slumberings
Color: White, Size: Queen
For transparency, I was given this pillowcase to review by Relief Mart. However all views are my own and not biased because of it. I had recently purchased the matching pillow (see my other review) and had the opportunity to try this out. In terms of specs, it's basically made out of the same material as the Snuggle-Pedic Bamboo Shredded Memory Foam Pillow - it even has the same woven design. According to manufacturer claims: 'Soft and Luxurious Kool-Flow® Micro-Vented Bamboo Cover' - The pillowcase material is very soft to the touch, and does have a premium feel to it. It did have a slight 'smell' when it first arrived, however once washed (and air dried) it's not there anymore. 'Unprecedented breathability that allows air to circulate through the pillow' - It definitely keeps a certain 'coolness' and doesn't heat up if you stay in one spot. It makes staying still bearable, as I'm a sleeper always looking for the cooler side of the pillow during the night. As described, it's zippable so you can separately wash it from the pillow, and I can attest that it does keep it's softness and fluffliness after 3 weeks of use. Though I'm very happy with it, there's a couple things to build on in my opinion: - color and texture of fabric. By itself, the look of the pillow makes it seem that there's no pillowcase. So if you're picky about your bedsheets when you make your bed, this pillowcase will probably stick out like a sore thumb. The unsubtle branding and slight off white coloring doesn't help as well. - there's a tag outside the pillowcase near the zipper, and though it doesn't affect it in any way, it can be slightly annoying and aesthetically displeasing as it sticks out a bit. Would suggest placing it on the inside. I would definitely recommend this product, irrespective of the (minor) points above, as this has made my slumbering experience a whole lot better.

Great pillow case from a company that cares!
Color: White, Size: Body
The Snuggle-Pedic Body Pillow Case is GREAT and is the perfect pillow case for their body pillow! Feels exactly like the great material that's on the body pillow (soft and breathable) -- and it fits the pillow perfectly! I love that there's a zipper on it as I don't have to deal with the pillow slipping out of the case at all. The case fits perfectly and is the perfect case for the pillow! I read some other reviews where people said they didn't love that the tag/label was on the opposite side of the zipper on the case. But for me this was a non-issue. I cut the tag off and now there's no issue at all. :) Oh, and I have to give a shout out to Snuggle-Pedic and their company....they are awesome! They did offer me a free case in exchange for an honest review. But this isn't what I think they are awesome for. I find them to be a stand up company that is truly there to support their customers! They include a little note when you get the pillow and pillow case giving you their phone number and letting them know they are here to help if we have any questions. And they send an email as well saying they are available if we have any questions and they gave suggestions on how to care for their products. They are quick to respond and truly lovely people. I'm a sucker for supporting good companies....companies that actually truly care about their customers...and this company is that! I highly recommend this product :)

Excellent Customer Service and the Cover is Perfect
Color: White, Size: Queen
I have already purchased 2 of the pillows that go with the Snuggle-Pedic Zipper Removable Pillow Cover. Neither of the pillows I purchased had a zipper on the pillow cases. I bought my pillows at different times, the oldest pillow's case recently didn't do well in the laundry and got somewhat frayed. Not in too horrible condition, but I'm rather OCD. I admit I panicked a bit, I love my pillows! But then I discovered they sell the pillow cases with zippers that would allow me to replace my pillow case and not lose my awesome pillow. Perfect! I bought one. And, I am happy to say, that's just the beginning of my review. A day after purchasing the seller contacted me and explained how the pillow case worked. I was very pleased and grateful - glad I didn't have to struggle with it then rush back and beg for info. Nope, they had it all laid out and made it super easy. I got my pillow case, replaced my torn one and my Snuggle-Pedic pillow is good as new! Excellent service! Excellent Products! I highly recommend them. Oh, and if you haven't tried the Snuggle-Pedic Pillows you are seriously missing out! As a side sleeper, I couldn't live without mine now! Lanette
