Garland Lily

Garland Lily  (Hedychium)

Garland Lilies (Hedychium) are not hardy with us. Late in the summer the plants will produce beautiful flowers which also have a nice scent. Do not bring the plants inside until after the first frost. Cut away all the stems and keep the roots dark and in a frost-free location, covered with some dry compost. Plant the Garland Lilies again in spring and add some fertiliser. Most species of Garland Lily want a place in the sun or half shade. Please ensure they receive plenty of water and food.
