KAHILI GINGER RHIZOMES:

  • You’ll receive packages of Hawaiian Kahili Ginger (Hedychium gardnerianum) rhizomes that you can plant. Each package contains one (1) rhizome segment, approximately one ounce in weight

  • Kahili gingers are fast growing! It’s not uncommon for the rhizomes to sprout while in the package

KAHILI STARTER PLANTS:

  • You’ll receive two (2) well rooted Hawaiian Kahili Ginger (Hedychium gardnerianum) starter plants, each in its own 2 inch pot. Each plant has a shoot that can be anywhere from 4 inches to 14 inches. Because these are so fast growing, it’s not uncommon for us to cut the shoots back and allow the plant to send up a new shoot. While it may be short, the rhizome in the pot is usually many months old and ready for you to repot

A symbol of Hawaiian royalty, for your king or queen

Not only does the kahili ginger look cool, but they smell great as well. The 'kahili' gets its name from the fact that it resembles the royal cylindrical emblems that would accompany ancient royalty.​

Strong growth

Kahilis grow fast, and they grow prolifically. Often, the roots begin growing right out of the package before they can be purchased. So if you're worried that these will "never grow" where you live, remember that you've seen the proof: Kahilis can 'make it there' so they can make it (nearly) anywhere.​ It's up to you.

How to grow a Kahili Ginger:

Bury the root cutting deep enough to cover it. Use a potting soil mix from the garden shop and keep it moist. After the root has sprouted, continue to keep things moist and in partial shade.  We recommend an east-facing window. If you bought the growing plant, follow the same instructions as above.  If you put your kahili outdoors during the summer, make sure it's somewhere that's shaded from direct sun. Keep the temperature between 65℉ to 85℉, and fertilize your ginger with a timed-released fertilizer or garden fertilizer according to the instructions.  Kahili's go dormant in the winter but come back in the spring.
