Our Turmeric Roots are grown all naturally and shipped fresh!

Why Grow Your Own Turmeric:

• Fresh, potent flavor compared to store-bought
• More nutrient dense
• Great for juices, smoothies, teas, and cooking
• Can be multiplied year after year for endless harvests

How to Plant

Plant your Turmeric roots 2–3 inches deep with the buds facing upward (either in a pot to get them started or in the ground)

Use rich, well-draining  all natural soil

Add a layer of mulch to retain moisture and boost growth

Best Growing Conditions

• Full sun to partial shade
• Loves humidity and warm weather
• Ideal in Zones 8–11 (can grow annually in cooler climates)

If you live in Zone 7 or colder, you can grow turmeric in pots and bring it indoors during winter or harvest before your first freeze.

When to Harvest

Your turmeric will be ready about 8–10 months after planting. Harvest when the leaves begin to yellow and die back. Dig carefully around the clump, remove the roots, and save a few pieces for replanting!

Year After Year Harvests

Keep a small section of your harvest to replant, and you will multiply your supply every season. Many growers expand to multiple beds after their first year.

Shipping

We ship fresh, all natural Turmeric Roots ready to plant. We ship on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays and it typically takes around 5 business days to arrive.

FAQs

How do I plant Orange Turmeric?
Plant each root 2 to 3 inches deep with the buds (or 'eyes') facing upward. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain humidity.
Will turmeric grow in my climate?
Turmeric thrives outdoors in USDA Zones 8 through 11. If you're in a colder climate, grow it in a pot and move it indoors during winter or in a greenhouse.
How long does turmeric take to mature?
Expect a harvest in 8 to 10 months. You'll know it's ready when the leaves turn yellow and begin to dry.
Can I grow turmeric in pots or containers?
Yes. Turmeric grows extremely well in large pots. Containers are recommended for zones below 8 because you can move them indoors when temperatures drop.
How much sun does turmeric need?
Full sun to partial shade. 4 - 6 hours of sun daily for best growth.
How often should I water it?
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season. Avoid soggy soil, which can cause rot.
How far apart should I plant each piece?
Space each rhizome 12 to 16 inches apart to allow the clump to expand.
Will my turmeric multiply?
Yes. Each piece you plant can produce multiple new rhizomes. Save a few each season to replant and expand your harvest.
Can turmeric survive cold winters?
Frost will damage or kill the plant. In zones 7 and colder, bring containers indoors or harvest before your first freeze.
What kind of soil works best?
Rich, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Composted soil boosts yields.
Do I need to fertilize turmeric?
You can naturally fertilize them every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season to help maximize root development.
Is turmeric a perennial?
In warm climates (zones 8 through 11) turmeric behaves like a perennial and returns each year. In colder climates, treat it as an annual or overwinter indoors.
How do I store harvested turmeric?
After harvesting, wash and dry the roots. Keep them in a cool, dark place or refrigerate for several weeks. They can also be frozen for long-term storage.
