Tumeric is both a highly ornamental plant and a vibrantly colored root spice known for its culinary flavor and healing properties. It is native to southeast India and is a member of the ginger family. The leaves have an upright growth habit reaching 3’ tall in a container and taller in the ground. The aromatic rhizomes that produce the turmeric grow underground. Turmeric needs a sunny warm exposure during the summer growing season to thrive. The foliage dies back to the soil level for its winter dormancy. During this time, it is important to keep the soil dry. Turmeric rhizomes can be dug at any time after dormancy. This spice is well known for its immune-enhancing properties; it’s an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It is also a mainstay in culinary dishes like curries and many Indian and South Asian foods.
