My ginger lilies grow against a wall on the east side of the house. They have required little to no care and spread by tubers. The fragrance of the bloom is outstanding! I've taken the blooms to my classroom, where the fragrance permeates the entire room.

This plant is very easy to grow. I have poor soil. There is no seed collecting as it grows from the roots which multiply each year. Best place to plant is in a damp area like an airconditioner run off.
