    Plucked from the Himalayas, this zone 6 ginger relative is a stunner in a pot or in a shady woodland garden. The blood red stems are striking all season and the large, orchid-like lavender flowers are showy in late summer. While not recommended for the hot and humid south, it makes a superb addition to many gardens.
