Looking for an easy tropical look for your garden? Costus barbatus can fill that niche next to your pool or patio garden. Planted alongside low Kaempferias or next to tall White Bird of Paradise, Costus barbatus will demand attention. Its strong vertical presence topped with beautiful, tubular yellow flowers standing out against outrageously exotic waxy red inflorescences. Please note that tall plants may need to be trimmed to fit in a box.

The red bracts grow all year long in layers.
