Hi Sis, I don't know about aurantiacum...

...but hedychium grew like a weed in my garden, when I lived in West Africa. You probably need to take it indoors to get it to start going and only put it out in the summer. The soil there is more sand than anything else...and it likes very, very warm and very, very wet!!
