Curcuma hybrid ‘Great Reign’ is a creation of the famous Curcuma breeding program of Chaing Mai University. It is part of the so called “Torch Curcuma” series which is a curated mix from three of Chaing Mai U’s series. This is sometimes sold under the incorrect name of ‘Pink Giant’ in some areas. It is a large inflorescence hybrid with C aurantiaca and C. petiolata parentage. Its color pattern is similar to that of Sweet Memory but has a wider inflorescence with very large individual bracts. Always a show stopper. It has the large shiny leaves that is common with the C. aurantiaca parentage. The plants grow to 2 feet and prefer bright filtered shade to medium sun areas. Hardy in USDA Zones 8b and warmer.
