Turmeric PLANT – Deep Orange Colour – Heirloom & Untreated – Curcuma Longa

Discover the vibrant Curcuma Longa plant, the source of golden turmeric! Perfect for home gardens, this easy-to-grow perennial features lush foliage and stunning blooms. Harvest your own organic turmeric roots for culinary, medicinal, or wellness uses. The aromatic leaves are also great for cooking! Fresh rhizomes can be frozen, or dehydrated and ground into powder. While the foliage dies back in winter, it regrows in spring. Harvest leaves and rhizomes as needed, leaving some in the ground to ensure a thriving plant for the next season. It can be grown in a pot or grow bag.

Planting and growing tips:

1. Give it a good drink and place it in a half-shade position out of the wind.
2. Leave it in the original pot for a few days until it recovers from the journey.
3. Re-pot or plant into the ground at the latest when the roots start to come out of the bottom holes.
4. Watering straight after planting is essential! From then on as required.
5. It doesn’t like to sit in water so a well-drained position is best. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in slightly raised garden beds.
6. It grows best in partial shade and in many types of soil, however, the better the soil, the quicker and better the plant will grow.
7. It can be grown in a large pot or grow bag.

Additional notes:

• The price is for one young plant supplied in a small pot, naturally grown with lots of love in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven QLD Australia. Sending within Australia only, not to NORFOLK ISLAND, NT, SA, TAS, or WA. Pick up by appointment only.
• The image of the potted plants is just an example.
• Most of our nursery plants grow in a half-shade. Introducing them to the sun slowly before replanting them to their permanent position will promote healthy growth.
• Do your research before trying any new foods. Please also note our disclaimer in the footer of this page
