Costus amazonicus

   
Specimen Observations

Costus amazonicus has beautiful variegated foliage. It hasn’t grown much for me since I got it in 2002; maybe 3 inches at most.

I’ll try moving this plant next year to place where it gets a little more sun. It may grow a little faster then…or not.


Date Acquired: 2002-08

Culture:

Costus amazonicus is not getting any direct sun. I figured since it was deeply variegated that I would protect from the fierce Texas sun.

Costus amazonicus has beautiful variegated foliage.

It gets watered daily via drip irrigation.
