Hedychium flavescens (Yellow Ginger) - Leaf stems grow to 6 to 8 feet tall. Strongly fragrant pale yellow flowers bloom from summer through fall. The petals are a deeper yellow in the center. Plant in full sun (coastal) to light shade (best) and irrigate regularly. It is hardy to USDA zone 8 (10-20° F).
