The Big Island is home to many varieties of ginger plants, most with very striking flowers and exotic fragrance. The Kāhili Ginger (also known as Kāhili Fiesta) is no exception to this, with its huge heads of bright yellow flowers.

Unfortunately an extremely invasive plant, tends to grow quickly, choking out other native plants.


I  plan to keep this plant in the greenhouse year around.
