Admired for the beauty of its foliage, bright blooms and spicy fragrance, Helichrysum (Curry Plant) is a small annual featuring a particularly attractive, fine, linear, silvery foliage with curry-scented leaves. When planted along a walkway, the fragrance can be very enticing. In mid summer, domed clusters of small, lemon yellow flowers are produced that can bed used in dried flower arrangements since they retain their colour. It is drought tolerant and ideal for gardeners that water infrequently. Sprigs added to dishes give a mild curry flavour. Grows to 18″ tall.
