Curry plant - Helichrysum italicum

Type: Perennial

As the common name suggests, the leaves of the Curry Plant smell strongly of surry when brushed, making this an excellent aromatic to place along paths or walkways.

The narrow, silvery-grey leaves of this dense plant are very attractive, and the small, everlasting, bright yellow flowers it produces in summer are a delight, and as they keep their colour when dried, can be used for arranging.

Helichrysum italicum prefers a sunny, sheltered position on well-drained soil. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain a compact plant.

The essential oil of the Curry Plant is said to be anti-bacterial.
