Ginger Lilies

Drooping and Sagging

Ginger lilies are my favorite flower. There area different colored varieties but I mostly have white ones. In Louisiana, they’re almost invasive under the right circumstances. They do not do well with cold and they like plenty of water so my best bet for growing them is in pots, in the greenhouse for the winter.

I do my best to try to eek out a bloom or two each year. Most years, I do not get any blooms.

This year, I may get three blooms. These flowers and their wonderful fragrance make me happy.

    I haven’t tried growing in a pot but I love mine. I have 4-5 blooms. I think they are doing so well this year because we had so much rain earlier in NC.
