Curcuma, commonly known as Siam Tulip, is a tropical flowering plant valued for its upright growth habit and vibrant, long-lasting bracts.
This plant features broad, lance-shaped green leaves that form a clean, vertical clump, topped with striking pink bracts that emerge above the foliage. The flowers are held on upright stems, creating a structured, architectural look with a strong color focal point. The blooms maintain their appearance over an extended period, providing consistent visual interest. It grows as a compact, upright plant, making it well-suited for containers, patios, and indoor-outdoor transitional spaces. This plant is widely used in tropical and seasonal programs for its unique flower form, vertical presentation, and reliable performance in warm conditions.
