Product description
An attractive little evergreen perennial shrub with a bushy habit, distinctively scented foliage and bright Summer flowering. The Helichrysum 'Korma', sometimes known as the Curry plant, is named so due to its notably spicy, curry-like aroma, which is emitted by the linear, grey-green leaves all year. During the Summer, rounded, domed clusters of small yellow flowers appear on thin silver stems above and throughout the foliage.
Plant in moderately fertile, well-drained soil and keep in full sun in a sheltered position to protect from cold, drying winds. Water sparingly, especially during Winter where excessive watering or waterlogged areas may cause root damage.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower's pot.

Instructions
Top Tip
Helichrysum thrives in sunny, dry conditions and is perfect for rock gardens or containers. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
How to Water
Water Helichrysum sparingly, letting the soil dry between waterings. They are drought-tolerant but may need occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells, especially in containers.
How to Plant
Plant Helichrysum in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil in full sun. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Space plants 30-45cm apart to allow airflow. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can reduce flowering.
