Crepe-Ginger

The Crepe Ginger (Costus speciosus), also known as Spiral Ginger, is a tropical flowering plant valued for its lush foliage, spiraling stems, and showy white flowers with crinkled petals. It is especially attractive in tropical gardens, shaded borders, and landscaped areas.

• Appearance: Features broad green leaves arranged along upright spiraling stems, with striking white crepe-like flowers emerging from reddish cone-shaped bracts.
• Indoor/Outdoor Use: Best suited as an outdoor landscape and flowering plant. It performs well in tropical gardens, shaded borders, along pathways, near water features, and in large containers.
• Care: Prefers partial shade to bright filtered light, rich well-draining soil, and regular watering. It grows best in warm, humid conditions and benefits from removing old stems after flowering.
• Benefits: Highly decorative, lush, fast-growing, and excellent for adding tropical character, height, and seasonal flowers to landscaped spaces.
