A perennial tropical plant with distinctive colorful blooms, the Torch Ginger grows quite large and spread in clumps in the warm, humid climate that it prefers and can also be grown as a houseplant. On the plant’s upright stems grow leathery leaves while its showy flowers bloom seasonally on a bare flower stalk with a cone-shaped flowerhead surrounded by large, slightly drooping bracts. The entire shape of the bloom and flower stalk is said to resemble a torch, hence the plant’s common name. Torch ginger plants can grow in full sun to partial shade however, they will appreciate some protection from the harsh afternoon sun.
