I am a small, evergreen shrub with silver foliage that has a distinctive curry aroma. I also produce yellow flowers in spring and summer.
Originating in the Mediterranean I am admired for my bright foliage and blooms and work well in the garden, including in pots.
My blooms will retain their colour when picked as cut or dried flowers.
While am not related to the curry plant used to flavour Asian dishes, (Murraya koenigii) my leaves have been traditionally used sparingly to flavour meat dishes.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My leaves are pleasantly scented with a distinctive curry aroma
Hardy I am ideal for coastal planting, exposed locations and tolerate dry conditions
I am just as happy in large pots and containers as I am planted out in the garden
