Roscoea ‘Red Gurkha’

A striking, clump-forming perennial producing exotic, orchid-like flowers in rich ruby-red above lush, lance-shaped green foliage. The unusual blooms appear in summer, emerging directly from the foliage and bringing an elegant, tropical feel to shady borders and woodland-style planting. Plant Details: • Common name: Ginger Lily • Position: Partial shade • Height & spread: Approx. 30–40cm x 30–45cm • Flowering: June – August • Soil: Moist but well-drained, fertile, humus-rich soil • Hardiness: Fully hardy in Ireland • Pollinator friendly: ✔ Yes • Something to note: ‘Red Gurkha’ is valued for its rich red, orchid-like flowers and ability to thrive in cooler, shaded conditions. A superb choice for woodland borders and areas beneath deciduous trees, where its foliage dies back naturally in autumn before returning the following spring.
