Curry Plant

[Rosti]

At the garden centre today I couldn't resist the smell of the curry plant. It was sold as a herb but can I use it in cooking? (Don't want to poison my other half. )

Hi

Check this site out

Helichrysum italicum - Plants For A Future database report

It is edible (to a certain extent) but looks to be better for medicinal use.

Cheers

I bought a curry plant last year and I have used it for cooking. Great with potatoes and spinach. I didn't prune it back though and it got really heavy on top and bare underneath. Not sure if it is too late to prune it? But I really love it, hope you enjoy yours as much

How much did that cost you, Rosti?
