General Information
Inflorescence

The Etlingera elatior, Pink Torch Ginger, produces dramatic flowers on glossy pink bracts on very long stems (3 to 4 feet).  As the bracts open up, the lower bracts curl down giving the appearance of flower petals. Most people think of the pink bracts as the bloom, but the true flower are small yellow flowers that eventually poke out of the bracts as they age. 

Once cut, the inflorescence is not as long lasting as those of the cone gingers, but you can peel off the outer bract layers as the flower ages to extend its useful life.  

Please review the Zingiberales Planting and Caring page for additional information.

Habitat
