Curcuma ‘Skyline’

Known as the Siam tulip, this flamboyant plant is native to Laos, Thailand and Cambodia. An inedible relative of ginger and turmeric, it is grown for its brilliant pink bracts.

The award-winning Curcuma ‘Skyline’ is distinguished by its especially large and showy inflorescences. From late spring to summer, tall, single stems burst into glowing pink torches that can remain in flower for an incredible two months. The bracts are surrounded by erect, lance-shaped leaves, the whole plant having a narrow, upright habit that makes it a perfect focal plant for narrow spaces. Alternatively, use it to inject some dynamism and tropical colour into larger houseplant arrangements. Height: 60cm (24in). Spread:20cm (8in).
