This is a petite little top flowering Curcuma. The flower is born well above the foliage, but is only about 10 to 14 inches above the ground. The flower cone is about 3 inches tall by 1.5 inches wide and has pink bracts that are bordered in white. This short 2 foot tall plant produces inflorescences throughout the summer and early fall. Inflorescence bracts are dark green at the base and deep purplish pink at the top.
Flowers are bore in the axil of the leaves and are exposed in a showy fashion.
Dark green bracts are topped by pure white bracts. This plant has bright green banana like leaves that arise from the ground and grows to 3 to 4 feet tall. See the picture on the home page. Individual flowers on the flower spike open white and turn yellow. The terminal of the spike is covered with lavender bracts.
