description for "Herbs: Helichrysum augustifolia"
Ornamental Curry is a tender perennial in zones 8-10; acts as an annual in colder climates. In a gray or silver garden you can't beat curry. This aromatic ornamental (it smells like curry, but is not the true Indian curry) also produces golden yellow flowers and small, white, cylindrical fruits. Use this herb for its aroma in the garden, not for seasoning foods.
