The stunning 8" tall flower stalk of Arisaema kiushianum emerges from the ground beside the petiole in late April (NC)

the leaf backs are a wonderful felty brown

topped in summer with 30" tall spikes that emerge like a white Queen Anne's Lace

Hedychium Elizabeth Cardiocrinum The stunning 8" tall flowerThis Tom Wood hybrid is the tallest and most imposing ginger lily we grow, both for size and for flower. Starting in late July, the towering 9' tall stalks of Hedychium 'Elizabeth' are topped with clusters of giant, brilliant reddish orange flowers. In late afternoon, the exquisite honeysuckle like fragrance wafts through the garden from its lofty perch pure poetry.
