Globba schomburgkii

A spectacular, exotic addition to a pot on the patio, in the conservatory or on the windowsill. This compact ginger-like plant blooms in late summer with a fascinating cascade of bright yellow flowers that look strikingly like tiny, gracefully dancing figures.
This botanical gem requires a spot in light shade to partial shade and humus-rich, moist but well-draining soil. In autumn, the foliage dies back and the plant retreats into its rhizome for a natural winter dormancy. Keep the pot almost dry during the winter and protected from frost at a minimum of 5°C, after which it will vigorously sprout again from May.
An added bonus is that the plant produces unique flower buds on the stems, allowing you to propagate it very easily yourself.
