The Garden Bug: Butterfly ginger lily

By Brenda Weaver

These plants display great beauty in the garden during late summer and early fall when not much else is blooming. Ginger lilies are not true lilies, but instead are a distant cousin of gingerroot that's used in cooking. They are beloved for their graceful, orchid-like blossoms that remind some of butterfly wings. In fact, butterflies love slurping their nectar, so a ginger lily is a great choice for a pollinator garden with some shade. It can grow up to 6 feet tall and spread out almost as wide.
