It's either Costus Spicatus or Costus Scaber. (Not a dwarf)
I know it reaches six to eight foot in height.
Cold tolerant in my zone 9b without dormancy or damage I suspect it's cold tolerance is probably good to zone 8b with excellent mulch, or bring indoors.
Blooms readily, hummers can't get enough of it. Mostly a part shade plant will tolerate full sun but looks ratty, the flowers don't last as long in full sun either.
Would like to trade for any other tubers, rhizomes (gingers, heliconia ect) that gets tall, I'm looking to block an ugly neighbor.
I only have 3 trades of this type available, please contact threw D-mail
Tall african spiral ginger 4 trade, 6' to 8'
Flower pics, sorry folks I took the pics correctly, but the system insists on rotating them sideways.
