Costus comosus var. bakeri (Red Tower Ginger) is a striking tropical perennial prized for its tall, lush stems, glossy green leaves and spectacular cone-shaped flower spikes. Vibrant red, waxy bracts surround bright yellow tubular flowers, creating a bold and long-lasting display that brings colour and an exotic character to warm, sheltered gardens.

Ideal as a feature plant, tropical border addition or decorative container specimen, Red Tower Ginger thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil with filtered sun or partial shade. Its dramatic foliage and showy blooms also make excellent cut-flower material, offering customers a distinctive and rewarding choice for creating a vibrant tropical landscape.
