Thai Tulip For Sale

Curcuma alismatifolia, Siam tulip or summer tulip is a tropical plant native to Laos, northern Thailand, and Cambodia. Despite its name, it is not related to the tulip, but to the various ginger species such as turmeric. It can grow as an indoor plant, and is also sold as a cut flower.

Siam(Thai) tulip care involves keeping the soil lightly moist at all times, but never allowing roots to sit in soggy soil. Locate the Siam tulip in an area with lots of bright, indirect light where the sun does not directly hit the leaves or else the leaves will get scorched.

The plant is harvested from the wild for its edible flowers, which are eaten locally. It is widely grown for the cut flower industry and is also often cultivated as an ornamental in gardens.  It is not pet friendly.
