TURMERIC - Bulb
TURMERIC - Bulb
BULBS: BTUME
An Indian spice that will grow in any frost free area. Best planted in November, with canna-like leaves emerging from the rhizome in late spring-early summer. Rhizomes are mild when dug during the growing season, stronger after the leaves have died down in the autumn. A very productive plant.

VERBENA BONARIENSIS 3 PACK
PLANTS: PVEB3
Possibly one of the most valuable of summer flowering plants. This beauty from Brazil threads its stiffly upright stems through other perennials, floating hundreds of amethyst hemispheres of bloom. Ideal for the back of the border where it softens the outline of its garden companions. Potentially invasive in disturbed bushland.
