Description Fine Print
 
Boesenbergia hamiltonii, known as Hamilton's rosy orchid ginger or Hamilton's fingerroot, is a hardy ginger relative from India that will emerge in late spring or early summer with attractive pleated canna-like foliage up to three feet tall followed by beautiful orchid-like tubular white flowers with pink and carmine throats on three inch stems that emerge from the base of the leaf stems. Plant in well-drained soils that are moist in summer and drier in winter. It is hardy to zone 7b. Mulch with fallen leaves in winter. In colder zones, grow it as a container specimen and protect in winter. It will most likely also go dormant indoors for 2-3 months. Let it dry out and water only sparingly to keep soil off-dry until spring.
