I love any kind of ginger and just cant say no.
costa bloom
Lisa, it appears that it will be beautiful - I assume its blooms open more - am I right?
It is a wierd bloom. These yellow looking things come out of it.
You are lucky to live in FL and can grow these outside. Lovely photo.
Bward, you are very close to my zone. Cant you grow them outside? I know Trish is right above me in 8a and she has them growing in her swamp.
yep.. and mine are blooming now as well. Barbara.. I have extra if you want to try some when we meet up in August.. let me know.
The spiked indian head is suppose to be one of the hardiest of the costus....

rylaff, it is iffy-they struggle to come back. I find the best thing to do is stick the in ground in summer and dig them up in fall and plop them in a pot. Keep them in hoop house that stays 50's at night. At least I try.
Last fall I was sick and couldn't dig a lot of my costus. Midnight is coming back but having a hard time. Several other also are popping up. I was lucky because we had a very mild winter. No problem with hedychiums and curcuma.
