A rather different hardy Ginger with wider more open flowers in a rich reddish orange. These are set amidst Tall, leafy, almost bamboo-like stems from August. Slightly tender this one can handle temperatures down to -7 so should be OK outside most years. Can reach 2m in height in a good year - impressive.
