Hedychium aurantiacum or Red Ginger, is a slender red ginger that may prove to be hardy in the UK over most winters in sheltered locations. The stems of the plants exhibit streaks of red, adding to its interest. This is a plant of horticultural interest, but has close affinities, botanically, with H. coccineum and is alleged to be a subspecies of the latter.
