Curcuma hybrid ‘Starlight’ is one of the many new advanced Curcuma hybrids coming from a great breeding program in Thailand. This is one of a few hybrids that were released during the summer of 2018 on a limited basis and made quite an impression on the lucky ginger collectors that were able to obtain them. We now carry many of the hybrids in this series, most of which are wide crosses once thought to be impossible! Though they vary greatly and in reality are not a true “series” many share a common theme. The goal of many was to combine the look of the Tulip Gingers with much larger blooms and in colors not available in the Tulip Gingers.
‘Starlight’ has a large bloom with brownish orange lower bracts and topped with cream to white bracts. Once established the stems are long enough to make good cut flowers though they are also very long lasting if left on the plants.
Grows to 1.5′ in medium sun, Hardy in USDA Zones 8 and above.
