Varigated White Turmeric 'Emperor' - Curcuma sp.

Looking for a beautiful useful ornamental to add to your landscape or food forest? 'Emperor' is a variant of white turmeric thats as showy as any other Curcuma but with the additon of white edging and splashes of white striping throughout the leaves. Care is identical to other turmerics, going dormant in the winter and coming to life mid spring and producing clusters of smaller rhizomes that can be harvested after the plants go dormant in the fall for a myriad of culinary and medical uses.
