Green, maroon, white and purple combine in Bicolor Wonder to create bracts that garner attention regardless of the setting. Now envision these branch tips framed by foliage that grows to 6 feet, sports leaves with crimson stripes down the center. Pinecone shaped bracts that give this plant group its common name, Hidden Cone Ginger, emerge in June and last for months. An easy to grow tropical wonder, this plant is happy in dappled sun to light shade and average soil.
