Tapeinochilos is a genus in the family Costaceae. It is a herbaceous perennial plant with underground rhizomes and grows to about 6-8 feet tall. Leaves are dark green, arranged spirally around the stems. Stems are herbaceous, bamboo-like. Flower clusters look like inverted pineapples, with dark red cone-shaped bracts enclosing yellow flowers. Fruits are cone-like, red bracts which will slowly turn to brown when seeds are harvested.
Best in a tropical garden in partial or dappled shade. Blooms throughout the year. Zone 10+ or indoors, greenhouse and sun-room, needs high humidity.

Other Names: Indonesian wax ginger, Red wax ginger, Giant Spiral ginger, Costus ananassae, Costus pungens
