How to grow
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.
