Known as Curry plant, Immortelle, or Italian Strawflower, this cutie shines in rock, cottage, costal, and city gardens which mimic its native Mediterranean setting. Prized as a dried flower, gardeners love to pick from the Curry plant because its blooms retain their bright mustard color. Although sharing the same name as the well-known mixture of spices, Curry plants have little else in common with curry powder.
