I am looking to grow the above this year and my borders are not the biggest about 2m wide by half meter deep. Am curious to know the spread of each plant. i.e. how many can I plant in this area of space? The varieties I am looking at are Hedychium coronarium, Hedychium garnderianum and Hedychium greenii. They will be grown in full sun and I live in central london. Would also be grateful if someone could tell me how far apart to plant each rhizome please? I am creating a jungle garden and would like as much impact as poss from these plants.

As you haven't had an answer yet - looked this one up. Coronarium - height 3ft, spread 2-3 ft.
Garnderianum - height 6ft, spread 5ft
Greenii - Height 4ft, spread 3-4ft
Don't think you'll have room for these, might be better in pots.
Would be useful to get a book on them.
