Roscoea nepalensis is a small, tuberous perennial from the high mountains of Nepal that dies back to an underground rhizome each year and produces white flowers in early summer. It grows best in cool conditions with partial shade, moist but well-drained soil, and a cold winter rest.
Roscoea nepalensis is a perennial herbaceous plant found in Nepal. Most members of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), to which it belongs, are tropical, but R. nepalensis, like other species of Roscoea, grows in much colder mountainous regions.
Roscoea nepalensis occurs in Nepal, growing at altitudes of around 2,400–3,100 m (7,900–10,200 ft) in grassland, among rocks and in open woodland in the shade of trees and shrubs.
