The arching stems and glossy green foliage add a lush, exotic look to borders, patio containers, and greenhouse collections, with blooms that carry the garden gracefully into late summer and autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrown primarily as an ornamental for fragrance and cut flowers, Hedychium ellipticum performs best in a sheltered spot with consistent moisture and warmth, where it clumps steadily into a bold architectural specimen.
