Turmeric’s large, lush paddle-like leaves are reason alone to add this plant to your garden. In cool regions the foliage will die back, and in warmer zones it will persist over winter and then be replaced by new shoots. Because it grows from widely spreading rhizomes, turmeric can form reasonably dense stands.
The fragrant summer flowers are a gorgeous bonus. They are held below the foliage, but are large spikes with multiple blooms on each. The individual flowers are generally white, sometimes a little yellow and some even have pink tinges. They make fabulous cut flowers, lasting very well in the vase.
Turmeric and ginger can look very similar when they’re growing, so it can be easy to get them confused. There’s an easy way to tell the difference. Expose a small section of rhizome. If it looks distinctly orange, it’s a turmeric plant.
