Turmeric Orange
Orange Turmeric (Curcuma longa)
A vibrant and aromatic addition to your garden, Orange Turmeric is a rhizomatous perennial known for its striking orange-yellow roots and its powerful medicinal properties. This close relative of ginger produces large, lance-shaped leaves and tall spikes of yellow and purple flowers in the summer, while its underground rhizomes are harvested for culinary and therapeutic uses.
Rich in curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, this plant is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. The rhizomes can be used fresh or dried in a variety of dishes, from curries to smoothies, or made into teas and tinctures. Growing best in warm, tropical or subtropical climates with well-drained soil and partial shade, Orange Turmeric thrives in containers or garden beds with regular watering and a long growing season.
