This showey ginger forms clumps of mid-green, lance-shaped leaves, which has a heart-shaped base and is slightly hairy underneath. Each stem produces a terminal pendant inflorescence with yellow flowers. Water it abundantly while it is growing actively; less when it is dormant in winter. When temperatures fall below 65 degrees the plant goes dormant; at this time restrict watering to a maximum of once a week. Repot and divide plant when the growth period begins. Propagation by division or by seed in the spring. Divide rhizomes in spring when new growth emerges.
