The dainty, iridescent, silvery-lilac blooms of Roscoea ‘Peacock’ shimmer in pleasing contrast to bronze-green, lance-shaped foliage. Fluttering on dark maroon stems, the orchid-like flowers each feature a tapered hood and prominent, crinkled lower lip. A relative of the Ginger plant, Roscoea is the black sheep of the family. Unlike most tropical-loving Gingers, this species originates from the harsh conditions of the Himalayan Mountains. Triggered into growth by monsoon seasons in its native habitat and hardy to -10°C, Roscoea is well-suited to the British climate. Plant ‘Peacock’ in light shade to protect the silky blooms from being scorched by the sun.
