Hedychium gardnerianum (Kahili ginger, Kahila garland-lily, or ginger lily) is a species of flowering plant in the ginger family Zingiberaceae, native to the Himalayas in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. It’s an herbaceous perennial, and can grow up to 8 ft tall with long, bright green leaves on tall stems. But the bloom, now THAT is worth the wait here at Raintree! Locating this plant on a sunny pathway will gift passers-by with a sweet scent reminiscent of ripe pineapple.
