Turmeric (Curcuma longa), also known as Indian Saffron, is a versatile and robust perennial plant that is a delight to grow. This plant is cherished for its edible rhizomes, which are typically harvested 8-10 months after planting. The adaptability of Turmeric is remarkable, thriving in various light conditions, soil types, and moisture levels.
In the late summer, Turmeric graces your garden with stunning white flower spikes. As the seasons change, the leaves of the Curcuma longa fall, only to reemerge with the arrival of spring. For those in colder climates, the rhizomes can be overwintered in dry peat moss or even brought indoors as a houseplant.
The rhizomes of Turmeric, usually boiled or sun-dried for a week, can also be enjoyed fresh. The leaves serve as a flavorful wrap for fish, adding a unique taste to your dishes. In fact, the entire plant is edible, making it a valuable addition to your garden.
Standing at a height of 3-5 feet, Turmeric is a plant that demands attention. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is hardy in zones 7b-11. The plant features fragrant foliage that adds a sensory delight to your garden. Its heat tolerance, easy growth, and low maintenance make it a perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Turmeric is not just a plant; it’s a health-boosting powerhouse, a culinary delight, and a garden gem. Add this reliable garden plant to your collection and enjoy the myriad benefits it brings. Experience the joy of growing Turmeric, a plant that truly gives back.
Note: To comply with interstate shipping rules, our citrus shipping inventory is kept in a separate greenhouse. Online availability reflects that greenhouse stock. In-store citrus is managed separately and may differ or be limited.
Inventory policy: Online citrus = greenhouse shipping inventory (kept isolated for interstate compliance). In-store citrus availability is separate and changes frequently.
Citrus Shipping Policy: Citrus ships from our isolated greenhouse on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to ensure quick transit and meet agricultural regulations. If your order includes non-citrus trees, they may ship separately and arrive before the citrus.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
