I was really keen to add this fragrance to my flower beds. Very satisfied with the plants on arrival. Now I just have to wait for the plants to develop.

Description
Helichrysum angustifolium (italicum) Tall Curry, also known as Corsican Tall Curry Immortelle, or sometimes Italian Immortelle, is a particularly aromatic selection of this Mediterranean perennial shrub nicknamed Curry Plant. From an ornamental point of view, it is appreciated for its golden yellow summer flowering and its very bright light grey foliage reminiscent of lavender. A sun-loving and arid soil plant, Helichrysum excels in rock gardens or dry gardens. It can also be planted along the edge of the vegetable garden or grown in a pot with very well-drained soil.
Native to the Mediterranean basin, Helichrysum angustifolium belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is a perennial subshrub with a dense and bushy habit. Its growth is quite rapid, reaching about 50cm (20in) in height and 40cm (16in) in spread. Its leaves are evergreen, small, narrow, and elongated, with a silver light grey colour. Highly aromatic, they release a powerful curry scent when touched by the wind, in hot weather or after rain. A rare and precious essential oil is extracted from these leaves. Tall Curry Italian Immortelle produces small yellow flowers grouped in heads throughout the summer. They can be used to make beautiful dried bouquets with a bright yellow colour.
Tall Curry Helichrysum angustifolium integrates perfectly into rock gardens and beds composed of perennials and small shrubs in dry soil. It is always successful when combined with lavender, thyme, and rosemary. Hardy up to -15°C, it thrives in light soils, including poor and rocky ones, and dislikes excessively moist soils in both winter and summer. The fresh flowers can be used in cooking to add flavour to fish, grilled meat, rice, poultry, or marinades. Add them towards the end of cooking, as their culinary aroma is much less pronounced than the scent released in the garden. The leaves are used for flavouring, but they are rather indigestible and it is preferable not to consume them. This plant grows well in pots and pleasantly perfumes a terrace.
Harvesting: Pick the flowers at the beginning of flowering to dry them. The evergreen leaves can be harvested throughout the year as needed. Preservation: For bouquets, dry the flower stems upside down in a dark room. They will keep for a long time this way. As for the leaves, they are used fresh. Gardener's tip: If aphids or caterpillars invade the curry plant, use nettle solution or black soap.

Planting and care
Plant Helichrysum angustifolium, the Tall Curry in a sunny, sheltered spot and most importantly, in well-drained soil. Improve a slightly heavy and clayey garden soil by adding gravel or stones at the time of planting, or plant in a raised bed, on a slope, in a rockery... It is hardy, but dislikes excess moisture, especially in winter. A soil that is too wet in summer is also unsuitable for it. Limestone is very well tolerated. Like lavender, it is strongly recommended to prune it systematically to maintain a compact habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
