I'm known in Hawaiian as 'Awapuhi - 'Ula 'Ula.  Just as my cousin the red ginger, the flower industry seeks me out for cut flower arrangements.  I am a cylinder shaped flower pastel pink in color. If growing conditions are right, I will reach a height of 15 feet and I will flower all year round.  If my floral head is allowed to mature, plantlets will eventually appear.  In this way, I continue to propagate myself.

Growing instructions will come with plant.

Growing instructions:  Plant in potting soil from the garden shop.  Keep moist and out of direct sunlight.  The ideal temperature range is 60F to 80F.  Feed me with a general garden fertilizer according to the instructions.  Once I bloom, I'll do so most of the year.

Hawaiian Kahili Ginger

The Hawaiian chieftains had an emblem of royalty that was made from a pole; at the top, bird feathers were attached to form a cylindrical shaped head.  These emblems were called kahilis, and wherever the chief went, this symbol would announce his presence and his rank.  My cylindrically shaped cone with yellow flowers and bright red filaments resembles the chieftains kahilis; it is quite logical that I have been named Kahili Ginger.  Like my cousins the white and yellow gingers, I have a very pleasing fragrance.  Being a native of the Himalayas, I have the ability to grow at altitudes of up to 8,000 feet and endure considerable cold.

Growing instructions:  Bury root deep enough to cover in a potting soil mix from the garden shop along with perlite or our Hawaiian Volcanic Cinder Lava Rocks.  Keep moist.  After root has sprouted, continue to keep moist and in partial shade.  An east window will do just fine.  If you bought me as a growing plant, follow the same instructions as above.  If you put me outdoors in summer, make sure it's somewhere that's shaded from direct sun.  Keep the temperature 65F to 85F, and fertilize with a timed-released fertilizer or garden fertilizer according to the instructions.  I go dormant in the winter and will come back in the spring.
