Turmeric plants

Curcuma caesia - Turmeric is one of our favorite spices to grow and add to dishes; try this beautiful periwinkle to aquamarine-colored variety for extra pizazz! The flavor of blue turmeric is piney- almost minty, making it a fun addition to dishes in need of more pep. Grow blue turmeric just as you would the traditional orange kind. Plants will be 6-10" in height.  PLANTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN IN MARCH 2024

Turmeric is a wonderful culinary spice that is also an important part of Ayurveda and other forms of Indian and Asian traditional medicines. This close relative to ginger is easily grown indoors, outdoors during summer, or under glass. Harvest the roots for fresh, homegrown turmeric.  It is also a beautiful plant; allowed to grow, turmeric yields lovely white blooms. It needs at least eight months of hot, humid weather for best production. Turmeric contains cucurmin, a polyphenal that has been extensively studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Please consider these terms before ordering live plants: Most plants will be 3” to 7” in height. Please make sure you are ready for your order in your zone as these young, tender plants generally have no resistance to cold.  PLANTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN IN MARCH 2024
