Hedychium 'Tara' - 2009

lovely and it looks huge andrew, love the colour

This was planted in the spring of 2005 Sanbaz. It's got six flowers so far (on stems up to five feet tall), two more stems have got flower buds on and another stem is coming up as well

wow thats great andrew, bet its going to look lovely when other flowers open. do you have to cover it in winter or is it hardy enough to cope with our winters

It is supposed to be the hariest of the family. But I still grow it in a sheltered corner and mulch the roots with old fern fronds or straw. Used this method last winter and it came to no harm (-8C here)

well it certainly looks well andrew :o)

Its beautiful Andrew.......

Beautiful....I bought this at a plant fair this season, mine is quite small, do you have any advice you could give me Andrew...is it hardy?

Motinot - see my comment above

Thank you Andrew...
