Curcuma hybrid ‘Sulee Princess’ is another creation by Thai ginger collector and breeder Annop Ongsakul. Although it is in the Sulee Series, it is a departure from the breeding of the other 4 hybrids. The parentage of ‘Sulee Princess’ involves a different species that has never been used before. This species is sometimes called C. cochinchinensis ( a name used for a complex of Curcuma that have nothing to do with the real C. cochinchinensis). In reality it is probably an undescribed new species. The result of this cross is an amazingly beautiful hybrid with a unique form and coloration. The inner section of each bract is mostly white but with a bold pink edging. This is a sought after look, but one that is very rare in Curcuma hybrids!
