Curcuma hybrid Sawadee ‘Poppy Pink’ – Curcuma hybrid ‘Poppy Pink’ is another new one for us. It was originally trial released in 2018 in very limited numbers and again low numbers in 2019. It has a hot pink topped inflorescence which is quite large for a small stature plant. Some in coastal areas prefer this to longer stemmed Curcuma alismatifolia hybrids due to better performance with frequent and heavier winds.
Grows to 1-1.5′ in medium sun. Hardy in Zones 8 and above
