Curcuma Thai Beauty Red
Romantic hues are painted all over this flowering ginger with its vibrant purple-rose shades and miniature day flowers that grow in-between those enchanting bracts like a magical oasis for fairies. The day flowers are white with purple accents and shoot through when your Thai Beauty Red is happy and thriving. These large alluring flowers unfurl from the long bright-green foliage and turn any space into an enchanting tropical oasis. As cut flowers they last many weeks and lift the mood of where they are placed.
PLANT ME
In a pot or in the ground. In a rich, well draining soil.
KEEP ME IN
Somewhere with a good amount of natural light.
PUT ME OUT
In a warm, sheltered spot.
WATER ME
Daily during warm months when I have leaves and flowers. Not at all when I’m dormant and have lost my leaves. (Natural winter rainfall is fine).
FEED ME
A good, balanced slow release or organic fertilizer.
I LIKE
To be left to shed my leaves at the end of the season. Please don’t pull them off as you may damage my rhizome (root / bulb). Some mulch to help me regulate my temperature and water.
MY FLOWERS
Appear from December to May and make great cut flowers.
NOTES
My rhizome can be harvested and stored somewhere warm, dark and dry for future propagation. I’m part of the Ginger family – similar to the type we eat and have a rhizome that looks and smells similar.
