Black Turmeric - Potted Plant
A rare and extraordinary cousin of the traditional turmeric, Black Turmeric is prized for its deep blue-black rhizomes and potent medicinal properties. Thriving in warm, humid conditions, it produces lush, tropical foliage and delicate pinkish-white flowers, making it both an ornamental and functional addition to your garden. Well suited to pots, it requires a long growing season to develop its distinctive rhizomes. Harvest in late autumn for fresh use or dry for long-term storage. Later to shoot in cooler climates.
Turmeric prefers a frost-free climate, free-draining soil and regular watering. If grown in cooler climates, position near a north-facing wall or in a protected area. Harvest when the leaves start to yellow, or leave in situ and take what you need. If left undisturbed, turmeric will form a stunning flower. Replant from rhizomes every 3-4 years to maximise harvest.
