Planted in Mid July in Vero Beach, FL Zone 9a/9b. They are going crazy and continue to put out the most beautiful flowers. If you are in southern florida and have a nice shady space with lots of water this is a beauty. I fertilize at least once a week

Our bloom spikes come up before the leaves are beginning to show..... usually in early to mid April. the flowers are beautiful. We have some in the pink as shown above and in an ice blue shade.
The tumeric root itself, besides able to be used in cooking, makes a beautiful dye for fabrics, yarns or even Easter eggs.
