Brilliant 2” orange
blossoms with wavy
petal edges and yellow
hearts adorn the upright
stems of this low-growing
Fiery Costus. The
broad, deep green leaves
form a spiral on the short
stems with clusters of
flower buds emerging
at the tips on the mature growth. Flowers open over a long period of time with
blooming occurring throughout most of the year. From eastern Brazil, this rainforest
plant performs well under moderate light and lower humidity. With its
modest stature and brilliant floral expression it is a great addition to the indoor
garden.
