This is yet another Mark Collins collection, named for the cupped ligules which are emerald green on this cultivar. It is a form of Costus productus, grows to about 6 feet tall with broad leaves and bright colorful inflorescence when it flowers. The bracts are red and the flowers yellow with red at the tip of the labellum. A beautiful plant, similar to another Collins collection - 'Ruby Chalice' - but tends to be more vigorous and a bit taller growing.
