Considering gingers? Here's a butterfly type with brilliantly colored 1" individual flowers that are sprinkled liberally around an 8"-10" tall cluster. This variety blooms earlier and for a longer period than do most in this group and it displays a very attractive tropical form with lush 12"-16" leaves. In addition to being beautiful in form and flower, it's fragrant. What a first-rate combination!
