The Curry Plant combines beauty with function, sporting attractive bright yellow blooms with silvery, curry-scented leaves that deter both pests and deer. Midsummer brings domed clusters of small, lemon-yellow flowers that are great for dried flower arrangements, as they retain their color. This plant also has powerful tissue regenerative properties, aiding in the formation of scar tissue. Plus, it’s easy to care for, with low water and care needs. This is a great choice near walkways, entryways, and decks and patios, where its scent can be enjoyed.
Curry Plant Care
You can plant your Curry Plant outdoors a few weeks after spring’s last frost. This plant thrives in full sun, but is not picky about soil—opt for neutral to alkaline, well-draining soils.
Growing Curry Plant
This plant reaches up to 2 feet tall, spreading 3 feet wide. You can plant it anytime from spring through fall. Harvest the leaves periodically during the season. However, it’s best not to prune more than 50 percent of the foliage at any time.
This plant requires full sun and grows best outside. However, if you are growing the Curry Plant indoors, you’ll need to repot it every one or two years. Never allow the plant to be pot-bound. When repotting, make sure to trim dead and aged roots. Remove the old soil mix and add a slow-release fertilizer to fresh indoor potting soil. Water well and make sure the plant is placed near a sunny window.
Watering Curry Plant
As a drought-tolerant plant, this is the perfect choice for gardens that get infrequent to little watering. Watering once a week should suffice in the spring and cooler months. As temperatures rise, you may need to increase watering, especially for containers. Make sure the roots do not become submerged in water, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry between waterings. After your plant reaches maturity, you can reduce watering.
Feeding Curry Plant
This plant does not need regular fertilization. Give your Curry Plant a slow-release feed in the spring. Do not fertilize the plant during the winter. This plant can become iron deficient, however, so you can add a teaspoon of iron sulfate to the soil once a month.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
