Curcuma Snow White - flower bulbs and perennial plants from Holland

Turmeric Snowwhite (Curcuma alismatifolia 'Siam Snow white'). New! An attractive turmeric from the Siam™ Curcuma series! It was bred in the Netherlands. And the parents of this plant come from Thailand. Turmeric belongs to the family with the exotic name Zingiberaceae. The Thais call their country "Siam". And since turmeric is of Thai origin, the name of the series also sounds like Siam. This variety is of high quality. And it will bring you many pleasant moments. A distinctive feature of this plant is its large extravagant flowers and long bracts. They are very much appreciated by florists and interior designers.

The peduncles are straight, strong, up to 60 cm or more in height. They are crowned with apical inflorescences. Bracts are surrounded by almost invisible flowers. They are two-coloured: snow-white with light green specks at the tips. The leaves are basal, dense, erect, spear-shaped. They appear with a tunic. Their colour is deep green. Flowers appear first, followed by leaves. Flowers on the plant last up to 3 months (with proper care). A well-developed plant can form more than three peduncles. Turmeric can be grown as an indoor and outdoor plant. This plant is also ideal for cutting.

Turmeric fits perfectly into modern design. A compact bush will decorate living rooms and a warm winter garden in winter, and a balcony or terrace in summer. Turmeric is a thermophilic and moisture-loving plant. It grows best in neutral soils with good drainage. Exposure - full sun, partial shade. The frost resistance is low: this plant can withstand -12.2°C of frost. In summer, plants grown indoors should be placed outdoors. Flowering period: mid-summer - early autumn. The dormant period begins in October. Plant height: up to 45-65 cm.

Attention: The plant needs a pot of 15-20 cm in size.
