Curcuma alismatifolia ‘Red Lip’ is a beautiful new introduction and a Gingerwood Nursery US exclusive. The color of this pure C. alismatifolia cultivar is among the darkest if not the darkest available and its cultivar name doesn’t really do it justice. This will make a fine parent for hybridizing but most will want this for the outstanding color in the garden. As with most C. alismatifolia cultivars it was bred for cut flower production and has a very long blooming season. Pure Curcuma alismatifolia varieties are sun loving gingers that need a sunny location. Very excited about growing this variety and being able to offer it.
Grows to 18″ in medium to full sun, hardy in USDA Zone 8 and above
