Hedychium greenii
Red Butterfly Ginger
Hedychium greenii, commonly known as Red Butterfly Ginger, is a striking tropical perennial prized for its bold maroon stems, dark green leaves with red undersides, and vivid orange-red flowers that bloom from mid-summer to autumn. This compact ginger adds lush texture and vibrant colour to borders, subtropical plantings, or large containers. Easy to grow and propagate, it thrives in warm, moist conditions and brings an exotic flair to New Zealand gardens with minimal maintenance.
