Kiss of Death Ginger is botanically known as Costus longibracteatus. Its common name was probably derived from its weapon like appearance. 

As one can see from the picture, Kiss of Death is a beautiful burgundyish-reddish-brown exotic tropical flower that is remarkably hardy and easy to keep. Although we've not seen a Kiss of Death flowering the inflorescence produces orange flowers. Each stem weights 2 to 3 pounds which should be kept in mind when desiging.

Costus "Kiss of Death" Gingeres prefer be stored at or above 60 degrees. Vase life is 10 to 14 days depending on age and environmental conditions.

Please consult with your sales representative for this weeks availability.
