Another popular hardy flowering ginger, White Wonder produces bracts in white, with strong, pleasing architectural forms. Wide, ribbed, tropical foliage sprouts in late spring - be patient, this plant sleeps in - and then grows quickly to about 2 feet tall. Pinecone-like bracts appear in summer and are long lasting, so the reward for your patience is there to enjoy for months. Plant in front of a shrub border to add interest and an "oh, what's that?" spark to your landscape.
