Description:

The curry plant is an aromatic herb closely resembling lavender in appearance, with grayish leaves arranged in a pinnate fashion. Its flowers are remarkably beautiful, displaying an intense yellow color. Flowering typically occurs between the months of May and September, depending on the region.

Characteristics:

It is characterized by its intense and pleasant aroma reminiscent of curry spice, hence its popular name. This plant thrives in full sun and can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -20ºC to -40ºC, making it highly adaptable to drought conditions.

Aesthetic Appeal in the Garden:

The curry plant is perfect for mixing with other species, as its silver-gray color enhances the appearance of surrounding plants. Its vibrant yellow flowers also add exceptional visual appeal to any garden setting.

Watering and Care:

The curry plant requires minimal watering to avoid waterlogging and rot. Excess water and organic matter in the soil can be detrimental. A slower growth rate, associated with moderate watering, promotes stronger plant development. Pruning in winter helps control its volume, and removing wilted flowers maintains its neat appearance.

Fertilization:

It is advisable to fertilize monthly in spring and apply another round of fertilizer in autumn using a universal fertilizer. This regimen helps maintain the plant's health and vigor.

Resistance:

While highly resilient, excess water can lead to fungal issues that may prove fatal. However, under suitable conditions, this plant demonstrates exceptional strength and can endure harsh environments.
