Helichrysum italicum ‘Dwarf’ — Curry Plant

Description

Helichrysum italicum ‘Dwarf’, or Dwarf Curry Plant, is a small silver herb for hot, sunny spots. Its fine leaves have a warm curry-like scent. Small yellow flowers rise above the plant in summer.

How to Grow Dwarf Curry Plant

Give this plant full sun and soil that drains fast. Let the soil dry a bit between drinks. Wet soil can harm the roots. This plant also fits well with other dry-loving herbs such as Winter Thyme, Greek Oregano, and Purple Sage.

Garden Use

The soft silver color works well in pots, rock gardens, and sunny borders. The plant stays neat and low. Its yellow blooms can also draw bees and other pollinators.

Care Tips

Trim old flower stems after bloom. Use little fertilizer. Good drainage is more important than rich soil. In cold areas, grow it in a pot so it can be moved to a safe place for winter.
