Description

Pristine, elegant, and sophisticated, the White Siam Tulip (Curcuma alismatifolia White) is the minimalist’s answer to tropical gardening. With its luminous white bracts held high above lush green foliage, this variety brings a sense of serenity and "high-end" floral design to gardens and patios alike.

The Visual Highlights

• Luminous White Bracts: Unlike the vibrant pinks of its cousins, this variety features crisp, snowy-white bracts that catch the light beautifully, especially in the "monsoon" or humid summer months.

• Architectural Silhouette: The flowers are held on strong, upright stems well above the leaves, ensuring they are never hidden.

• Exceptional Longevity: These blooms are famous for their staying power. They remain stunning on the plant for weeks and serve as an elite cut flower for indoor arrangements.

• Compact Elegance: Reaching approximately 2 feet, it is perfectly scaled for smaller gardens or focal-point containers.

  Planting & Care Guide

  • When to Plant: Bulbs are available starting in February—the perfect time to prepare for summer blooms.

    • Soil Requirements: Use ordinary garden soil enriched with a heavy mulch of sand and well-decayed cow manure. Excellent drainage is essential to keep the rhizomes healthy.

    • Watering: Maintain a regular watering schedule to keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater.

    • Potting Tips: For a lush look, use an 8-inch pot to plant two bulbs, spacing them evenly to allow for clumping foliage.
