Silvery Foliage with Intense Curry Aroma for Ornamental Use
'Italicum' features narrow, silvery-gray needle-like leaves with an intense curry aroma on upright stems. This tender perennial grows 12-18 inches tall and wide, creating an attractive mounding habit. The plants produce small yellow button-like flowers in summer. These plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring dry conditions. While the foliage smells strongly of curry, it is primarily ornamental and not typically used in cooking. Perfect for adding silvery texture, curry fragrance, and drought-tolerant foliage to herb gardens and containers.
