Curcuma ‘Healthy Joy’ is a rarely seen tropical tuberous perennial that can be grown as a summer patio pot plant or houseplant. Known as the Siam tulip, this flamboyant plant is native to Laos, Thailand and Cambodia. An inedible relative of ginger and turmeric, it is grown for its colourful bracts.
Curcuma ‘Healthy Joy’ is distinguished by the exceptional colour of its bracts which are rose-pink with deeper magenta blotches on the tips of each bract. These vivid bracts are held aloft on strong upright stems giving them the appearance of glowing pink torches. The bracts are surrounded by erect, lance-shaped leaves, creating a dramatic and architectural plant which makes an eye-catching focal specimen, injecting dynamism and tropical colour into larger houseplant arrangements or amongst patio containers.
Despite their exotic looks, curcuma tubers are no more difficult to grow than frost-tender begonias and dahlias. Start them into growth in early spring on a warm windowsill or in the greenhouse for months of summer colour on the patio. Bring them in before the first autumn frost and let them continue blooming through winter on a warm windowsill. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread 30cm (12").
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
