| Hawaiian
Kahili Ginger 2" Pot (Hedychium gardnerianum) ~ Grow Hawaii |
|
 |
| The Hawaiian Chieftains had an
emblem of royalty that was made from a pole; at the top, bird
feathers were attached to form a cylindrical shaped head. These
emblems were called kahilis, and wherever the chief went, this
symbol would announce his presence and his rank. My cylindrically
shaped cone with yellow flowers and bright red filaments resembles
the chieftains kahilis; it is quite logical that I have been named
Kahili ginger. Like my cousins the white and yellow gingers, I
have a very pleasing fragrance. Being a native of the Himalayas, I
have the ability to grow at altitudes of up to 8000 feet and
endure considerable cold. |

Growing Instructions: Use a potting
soil mix from the garden shop to re-pot in a larger container. Keep moist,
continue to keep moist and in partial shade. An east window will do just
fine. If you put me outdoors in the summer, make sure it’s somewhere
that’s shaded from the direct sun. Keep the temperature 65F to 85F, and
fertilize with a timed-released fertilizer of garden fertilizer according
to the instructions. I go dormant in the winter and will come back in the
spring. |
|
Additional Information: The best way to keep your Kahili ginger
looking good year after year is to cut it back all the way to the root
when the green stalk start to brown after it flowers. This allows the
plant to grow all new shoots for the next season. |
