Curcuma hybrid ‘Gold Dust’ is one of only three variegated Curcuma on the market. Its variegated leaves are quite different than ‘Emperor’ or ‘Snowdrift.’ Each leaf has hundreds of small streaks along with the center red stripe. This hybrid is best known as a spring blooming type but on occasion can throw central blooms in summer too. In spring it produces its blooms before the foliage emerges. Each inflorescence is topped with many narrow pink bracts. We were able to get a few trays of this hybrid before it was discontinued and since it is a patented hybrid we may not be able to offer again once stock runs out. Rhizomes are $10, growing plants in summer will be $15. Only a limited amount will be offered as rhizomes so get it while you can.
Grows 3-4′ in medium sun, hardy in Zone 8 and above.
