Curry plant
- Product number: 831810.1
- Origin: Mediterranean region
- Latin: Helichrysum italicum
This elegant, grey-leaved plant with fine foliage and sunny yellow umbels is found around the Mediterranean. It is not the true Curry Leaf Tree, which is used in curry (see 831805), but the scent and flavour of this plant are equally that of curry, so we can flavour our dishes with finely chopped leaves of this sun-loving star! Some winter protection, especially not too wet, and otherwise treat it like thyme, lavender, and rosemary.
