Turmeric, Alabama Wild

The toughest, most resilient turmeric you’ll ever grow. Emerging from a research project focusing on looking for high curcumin levels at Alchemy Farms in Alabama, this extraordinary strain didn’t just survive years of total neglect — it dominated the field. Trampled by sheep, hammered by driving rain and ice storms, and surrounded by aggressive invaders like Bermuda grass, pokeweed, and elderberry… it didn’t merely hang on. It thrived. If you want turmeric that laughs at bad weather, poor soil, and neglect, this is it. Consistently yields 1–3 lbs of fresh rhizomes per plant (often more with good care) Grows vigorously outside in USDA zones 7b–11, and indoors or in pots in zones 4-7a Grown on a Real Organic Certified farm in Vermont. SHIPPING INFO: Shipping begins late February 2026 (we monitor your local weather and ship when it’s safe for the rhizomes to travel and for you to plant). Want it earlier?
