Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This remarkable Ginger variety is a breeze to cultivate and delights with its year-round flowering. On average, the clumps reach an impressive height of 4 feet, showcasing a stunning display. While filtered light is ideal, this versatile plant thrives even in full sun or total shade, demonstrating its adaptability. Maintaining this beauty is a breeze too. Moderate watering is recommended, keeping the soil slightly moist during warm weather and slightly drier in colder seasons. When watering, it's best to avoid wetting the foliage. Fertilization follows a similar pattern, with a slightly higher frequency during warm weather and minimal application during winter months. Temperature plays a vital role in the flowering process. Although the Red Button Costus can withstand brief periods of light frost, it temporarily ceases blooming and may appear less vibrant. For a continuous blossom display, it is recommended to maintain a consistent temperature above 50°F. Adding to its allure, the Red Button Costus boasts yellow flowers emerging from enchanting red cones. Whether you're a landscaper in the South seeking an excellent addition to your projects or a passionate gardener in any region, the Red Button Costus shines as an exceptional choice. Its allure knows no bounds, making it an exquisite potted plant that will enhance any garden or indoor space.Scientific name: Costus woodsonii Common name(s): Red button ginger Family: Costaceae Height: 3–6 ft. tall Spread: 2–3 ft. wide Plant Type: Perennial, herbaceous, rhizome Sun Exposure: Partial sun to partial shade Soil Type: Moist but well-drained Soil: pH Neutral to acidic Bloom Time: Summer Flower Color: Red Hardiness Zones: 9–11 (USDA) Native Area: Central America
