Curcuma ' Choco Zebra'

$20.00

Curcuma ‘Choco Zebra’ is a striking ornamental ginger known for its deep chocolate‑colored bracts contrasted with light striping, giving it a bold “zebra” pattern. Lush green foliage rises behind the blooms, creating a dramatic tropical display. Typically reaching 2–3 ft tall, it thrives in warm weather, rich soil, and partial shade—perfect for tropical borders, shaded gardens, or container plantings.

A tropical hybrid developed from Southeast Asian Curcuma species, originally native to Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and India, where these gingers grow in warm, humid, monsoon‑driven forests.

Hardiness

Best suited for USDA Zones 8–11.
