Ginger Lillies Make
Colorful Tropical Garden
Each vCar we find an ever in-
creasing numfier of tropical plants
that thrive out of doors in our cli-
mate, Of these, one of the most be-
loved groups are the Ginger Lilies.
Though they are not all true Gin-
fd ; gers, their resemblance is etuk-
W i ing. Lush foliage and fragrant or
J colorful flowers act as a common
W; denominator.
;!f | The most popular and certainly
hi the hardiest Ginger Lily, some
M j times called Butterfly Lily, is Hcd-
yehium Coronarium. It grows in
M a dense clump. The many stalks
[lj are tall (four to five feet), slender
and covered with bright green
I carinalike foliage. The flower.,
; which resemble large pure white
j butterflies, are produced for many j
weeks beginning in late summer.
, The fragrance alone is enough to
I win it a place in every garden,
ftj Highly regarded by the natives of (
.♦f i Hawaii, this particular blossom is
[iji | most often the chief component of
[•] thi-ir world famous flower leis.
j' The Ginger or Butterfly Lily
] grows to perfection in a rich, moist
;soil in partial shade. It may be
i grown in full sun provided it-ro-
ceives plenty oi moisture.
The second of the group is the
j Shell Ginger (Alplnia spcciosa). |
Growing in much the same way as I
• the Butterfly Lily, the foliage i.s
larger and a deeper green. Ttie j
(lowers, produced in grape-like j
| dusters through most of the sum- j
liter, closely resemble small laveu- j
dor orchids.
Lake the majority of tropicals, j
these Gingers grow rapidly. In ell ■
but the mildest of winters these
plants will freeze to the ground :
and stay dormant until spring, j
With warm weather, they spring!
into action to supply the gardener |
with tropical foliage and blossoms |
with a difference.
