Velvet, silver and orange flowers, she really has it all. The Cornukaempferia Aurantiflora Silver is loved for its dark olive-green, velvety leaves covered in beautiful silver markings, almost like someone brushed metallic paint across the surface. Turn a leaf over and you’ll find an unexpected deep maroon underside, making this compact ginger beautiful from every angle. Native and endemic to Thailand, it grows naturally as a low, rhizomatous plant in mountainous forest habitats. And just when you think her amazing foliage is all, she can surprise you with bright orange-yellow flowers emerging right between the leaves. A must-have if you love seriously special plants.
