Curry Plant

Curry is a sub-shrub with intensely silver foliage and golden colored flowers. The curry plant’s name does result from its curry-like smell, but it is not part of curry blends. The leaf gives a curry flavor to soups or casseroles, but should be removed from the dish before eating as it can upset the stomach. Curry Plant’s primary value is its essential oil used in aromatherapy for bacterial and fungal infections, lethargy and emotional issues including depression. Very healing and a beautiful plant that grows well in a container or rock garden. Full Sun. Hardy to zones 9-12.
