Product Description
The Costus guanaiensis is a stunning tropical perennial with upright, spiraling stems and lush green lanceolate leaves arranged in an elegant spiral pattern. This exotic species produces vibrant, tubular red to orange flowers, often emerging from bracts with a striking contrast of yellow or white interiors. Native to Central and South American rainforests, this ornamental ginger relative thrives in humid environments and attracts pollinators like hummingbirds. Its lush foliage and spectacular blooms make it a favorite for tropical gardens and collectors seeking unique, spiral-growing plants.
