Costus spicatus or Scaber 4 trade

Titusville, FL(Zone 9b)

Its either Costus spicatus or Scaber, definitely not a dwarf.
It reaches 6-8 foot, cold tolerance in my zone 9b without damage or dormancy, seems like it should be ok to zone 8b with good mulching nice as a potted indoor plant for winter, blooms readily, hummers love it.
Will tolerate full sun but prefers part shade.
Would like to trade for other tall types of gingers or heliconias.
I'm trying to hide an ugly neighbor.
Only 3 trades available, contact threw D-mail.

Yes Danasplants they are a good attractor with plenty of nectar.
I love to see them fighting over them even though theres plenty of flowers to go around

Not sure if the trade is still available. If it is, I can offer some lovely and tall white butterfly ginger.
