I usually think that green colored flowers are boring but not this Globba. I can't take my eyes off of it! The bright yellow flowers against the neon green bracts is absolutely stunning and so unexpected. Now we have to include green as a Globba color. I have a small number of these to share until we build up our inventory. As with all Globbas they prefer partial shade and dry foliage. Get em while you can.
