Inject a burst of exotic elegance into your landscape with Hedychium aurantiacum. Known for its architectural stature and "balmy beauty," this Orange Ginger Lily is a high-impact perennial that bridges the gap between tropical lushness and hardy reliability.
Radiant Blooms: During the height of summer, this plant produces tall, sturdy flower spikes crowned with lustrous, apricot-toned blossoms. Each petal carries a glitzy golden hue that catches the sunlight beautifully.
Stunning Foliage: Even when not in bloom, the plant offers significant visual interest. Its narrow, grey-green leaves provide a sophisticated, architectural backdrop that complements broader-leaved tropicals or delicate ferns.
Statuesque Form: Reaching impressive heights, it serves as a perfect vertical accent for the back of borders or as a centerpiece in large containers.

"An excellent choice for landscaping in cooler climates where other tropicals might struggle. It brings a sophisticated, 'glitzy' glow to the garden without the high-maintenance demands of more sensitive ginger varieties."
Cool-Climate Friendly: Unlike many of its cousins, H. aurantiacum is noted for its success in cooler areas, provided it is given a bit of protection from harsh winds.
Sensory Delight: Beyond the visual "wow" factor, the blooms offer a delicate fragrance that carries on warm summer evenings.
Versatile Design: It pairs beautifully with dark-leafed Cannas, hostas, or ornamental grasses to create a layered, multi-textured garden bed.
Location: Choose a sheltered spot to protect the tall spikes from wind. A partially shady area mimics its natural forest-edge habitat.
Soil: Thrives in rich, moist, but well-drained soil.
Winter Care: In cooler regions, apply a thick mulch over the rhizomes in late autumn to protect them from heavy frost.
Our plants and mosses are hand selected at local growers with the utmost care and love. Here, they are grown in the most sustainable way possible. This way, the plants in your glass bottle are guaranteed to thrive together and you will enjoy your personal ecosystem with plants for many years to come.
We learn by doing. By creating your own terrarium with plants in a bottle yourself or with your children you learn about the various facets of the earth and thus the basis of our living existence in a creative way. Stone, potting soil, roots, plants, water and recycling all come together in this creative eye-catcher for your home.
• We work with MPS-certified plants and recycled glassware.
• Dimensions and colours of live plants may vary.
• It is also possible that, due to the season, a pictured plant is not in stock.
• In that case you will receive a beautiful alternative.
• It is recommended to open your ecosystem once a month for a few hours.
Avoid "wet feet" at all costs! To prevent your bulbs or rhizomes from rotting before they wake up, mix a handful of coarse sand or perlite into the bottom of your planting hole. This creates a "drainage pillow" that keeps water from pooling around the base during heavy rains.
