Turmeric is a superfood that commands a premium price at farmers markets and through direct sales—with some growers reporting prices as high as $80 per lb! After getting it started, it’s relatively easy to grow. Farmer Michael equates it to an old truck: “It might take a bit to get it started, but once running, it will go all day with not much care or work.”

This Florida Red is a premium heirloom variety prized for its striking deep red interior and exceptionally high curcumin content. Unlike standard yellow turmeric, this red cultivar delivers a bolder color, richer earthy flavor, and enhanced health benefits, making it a standout choice for farmers, homesteaders, gardeners, and herbal enthusiasts alike.

Key Features:

  • Relatively Easy to Grow: Once it breaks dormancy, this variety hits the ground running and can yield several pounds per plant with minimal maintenance.
  • High Curcumin Powerhouse: Boasts superior levels of curcumin – the active compound renowned for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. Ideal for daily wellness rituals, from golden lattes to soothing teas.
  • Versatile Culinary Star: Harvest your own fresh rhizomes for grinding into a vivid red-orange spice that adds warmth and depth to curries, stir-fries, soups, and marinades. Its subtle bitterness and peppery notes pair perfectly with ginger, garlic, and coconut milk.
  • Medicinal Heritage: Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic traditions, Florida Red supports joint health, digestion, and respiratory wellness. Fresh or dried, it’s a natural dye for textiles and a gentle remedy for everyday ailments.

We Sell in Several Ways:


Growing Guide:

These robust, knobby rhizomes are easy to propagate once they break dormancy and can be successfully grown in northern Vermont (Zone 3/4) with proper care. 10-14 seed pieces per lb,spacing 12-18" apart in rows, 36" between rows.

Zone 8 and Warmer: Plant in spring after the last frost in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost. They prefer partial to full sun, consistent moisture, and warm temperatures (68–86°F). Space 8–12 inches apart, 2–4 inches deep, with buds facing up. Expect lush green foliage reaching 3–4 feet tall, accented by delicate white flower spikes in summer. Harvest in 8–10 months when leaves yellow – dig up the clustered rhizomes for immediate use or replanting.

Zone 7 and Cooler: Best grown in protected culture, large pots, or against a protected south-facing wall. See propagation tips below.


Propagation Challenges & Cool-Climate Tips:

Red turmeric can be tricky to start, especially from dormant rhizomes, as it requires consistent heat and humidity to break dormancy. Do not expect sprouts for 3–4 weeks (sometimes longer if conditions fluctuate). In USDA Zone 7 and colder, outdoor planting is not recommended until soil temperatures reliably exceed 68°F. For reliable germination:

  • Pre-sprout indoors in deep trays or bulb crates filled with moist peat moss or cocoa coir.
  • Bury rhizomes 1–2 inches deep, buds up, and maintain 75–78°F using a heat mat.
  • Keep medium evenly moist (not soggy) and cover with a clear lid or plastic to retain humidity.
  • Once shoots emerge (1–2 inches), gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions after danger of frost has passed.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
