Hedychium densiflorum, commonly known as Dense Ginger Lily, is a deciduous perennial herb that is native to the Eastern Himalayas and South-Central China, specifically thriving in moist, shaded forest areas and along stream banks. It can reach a height of 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters) and a similar width, often forming dense clumps. The Dense Ginger Lily is noted for its striking spikes of fragrant yellow and orange flowers that bloom in the summer and fall, which are particularly showy and can add a tropical flair to gardens.

The plant is valued for its ornamental flowers and ability to attract pollinators such as butterflies. It is often used in border plantings, as a specimen in tropical-themed gardens, or in containers. Dense Ginger Lily requires consistently moist soil, but it should be well-draining to prevent root rot. It prefers a position in full sun to part shade and benefits from a rich, organic soil. While generally low-maintenance, it may need protection from slugs and snails, which find the foliage attractive. In areas with harsh winters, the rhizomes can be lifted and stored to prevent freezing.CC BY-SA 4.0
