Curcuma alismatifolia is another excellent result from one of Thailand’s premier hybridizers. The name may sound intriguing but it came about simply because the breeder’s Korean customers were especially fond of this very large flowered red spectrum variety. Bred for excellent cut flower and potted plant uses it also shines as a garden plant in Zones 8b and warmer. Like most “Tulip Gingers” it thrives in full sun and will do well in medium sun areas as well. Foliage grows to 18″ with the flowers held above the foliage.
