    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This is a very sweet Curcuma that is moderate in size and sports a fairly tall inflorescence. The bract is bright red with pretty yellow day flowers. Its a taller more upright red than 'Garnet'. There aren't many red Curcumas so they are always stunning surprises amongst the paddle shaped green tropical leaves.
