Helichrysum Italicum

The Curry Plant is grown for its fine, silver, aromatic foliage, which releases a warm curry scent in the sun on a low, mounding, drought-hardy bush. It earns its place as a silver foil in a Mediterranean or cottage planting rather than as a culinary herb. Full sun. Sharp drainage. Drought tolerant once established. Trim lightly to keep compact. Helichrysum italicum is the species itself, a bushy evergreen with a woody base and narrow silver-grey leaves, carrying small bright yellow button flowers in summer.
