Curcuma Siam
Colorful bracts held on a tall slender stem create a cone like torch of tropical color. The rhizomatous root of the Siam tulip contains curcumin. Tulip ginger is marginally hardy in north Texas. Treat it as annual or bring it (potted) indoors, kept dry till spring warmth. Feed monthly in growing season.
