Chamaecostus subsessilis

$49.99

Now this is a really unusual ginger. The leaves are the same size as many of the other Costus species, but the stems are extremely short. The effect is a low ground cover with large mule ear like leaves. The large, paper thin, delicate flowers are spectacular, and smell like lemons.
