    Stems rocket out of the ground quickly attaining lofty heights of 6-9’, and are topped with tropicalissimo, FRAGRANT, salmon blooms late July > August. This ginger likes heat, plenty of moisture and feeding to accomplish its amazing feat! Full sun or a little shade, decently drained organic soil. Elizabeth is NO shrinking VIOLET! Happiest protected from excessive winter wet, can be treated like a Canna for storing till spring.

    Honeysuckle fragrance, large growing to 9’. Pink to peach flowers and a tropical look. What more can we ask of a ginger?

    Fragrant salmon-pink flowers adorn this Ginger Lily from late summer through fall and the blossoms have an exquisite honeysuckle scent. 'Elizabeth' is a fast-growing plant with long lance-shaped leaves that sends up a flower sheath at the terminal end of the stem. The bloom cluster is 8-12" long and flowers emerge continually over a couple of weeks. Ginger Lily is a rhizomatous perennial. In colder norther zones, the large potted plant may be overwintered indoors or in a greenhouse. You can also store the rhizome in a cool, dry location for winter similar to a canna bulb.
