Helichrysum italicum – fragrant Mediterranean curry plant with ornamental value

Helichrysum italicum, better known as the curry plant, is a beautiful Mediterranean plant valued for its silvery-grey foliage, aromatic leaves, and striking yellow flowers. The plant owes its name to the strongly scented leaves, which resemble a curry-like aroma, although it has no direct connection to the culinary curry spice blend.

Characteristics of the curry plant

Helichrysum italicum is a compact, aromatic perennial belonging to the Asteraceae family. It typically grows to a height of around 40–60 cm and a width of approximately 50–90 cm, forming a dense, silvery-grey mound of fine foliage with yellow flower clusters in summer.

  • Aroma: strong, spicy leaves with a curry-like scent

  • Foliage: silvery grey and aromatic, providing a beautiful contrast with yellow-flowering plants

  • Flowering: long-lasting yellow blooms from July to October

  • Growth habit: bushy, perennial, and drought-tolerant

Culinary and aromatic value

Although the curry plant is not used as a traditional curry spice, young leaves can be added in small quantities during cooking to subtly flavour dishes such as stews, soups, or sauces.
