Roscoea ‘Red Gurkha’

A striking, clump-forming perennial producing exotic, orchid-like flowers in rich ruby-red above lush, lance-shaped green foliage. The unusual blooms appear in summer, emerging directly from the foliage and bringing an elegant, tropical feel to shady borders and woodland-style planting.
