Curcuma Miss Pearl
Heavenly white flowers bloom from the Curcuma Miss Pearl ever so elegantly. The almost luminescent flowers grow in tulip shapes with dense, clustering foliage and are painted with pastel pink tinges. A lover of the sun this beauty while small in size is absolutely breathtaking when given appropriate love and attention. Use as a cut flower for a vase or bouquet, trust us there is always an excuse!
PLANT ME
In a pot or in the ground. In a rich, well draining soil.
KEEP ME IN
Somewhere with a good amount of natural light.
PUT ME OUT
In a warm, sheltered spot.
WATER ME
Daily during warm months when I have leaves and flowers. Not at all when I’m dormant and have lost my leaves. (Natural winter rainfall is fine).
FEED ME
A good, balanced slow release or organic fertiliser.
I LIKE
To be left to shed my leaves at the end of the season. Please don’t pull them off as you may damage my rhizome (root / bulb). Some mulch to help me regulate my temperature and water.
MY FLOWERS
Appear from December to May and make great cut flowers.
NOTES
My rhizome can be harvested and stored somewhere warm, dark and dry for future propagation. I’m part of the Ginger family – similar to the type we eat and have a rhizome that looks and smells similar.
