Better known as the Siam Tulip, it hails from Laos, Thailand and Cambodia and is a decorative cousin of ginger and turmeric.Curcuma 'Siam Sisto' stands out for its luminous bracts—hot pink flashed with purple tips—rising like flaming torches above strong upright stems.

It can also be enjoyed as a radiant patio feature in summer, bringing it indoors again before the first frosts arrive. Height: 60cm (24in). Spread 30cm (12in).
