Curcuma, a relative of ginger, is an attractive perennial plant with ornamental foliage and trumpet-shaped flowers that grows 3 to 5 feet high. Curcuma plants add a tropical touch to any garden with colorful blooms that emit a spicy aroma.

This heat-loving, long-blooming plant produces gorgeous spires of pink, purple, or white flowers all summer long. Curcuma makes an outstanding addition to garden beds and borders, as well as container gardens.

Curcumas make excellent flowering container plants and, in some cases, the flowers will actually emerge before the foliage. Some varieties make good cut flowers too. Used in landscapes, curcumas provide interesting texture and a momentary splash of color.

Curcuma bulbs should be planted outdoors in a lightly shaded area between February and May; this allows for ample blooming in the spring and late summer.
