Curry Leaf
-
Landscaping
Curry Leaf is a small tropical to sub-tropical shrub. Plant near the kitchen for easy access and to enjoy the attractive dark green pinnate leaves and fragrant white flowers. Also great for a container (especially in cold environments, as this allows the pot to be moved out of the frost).
-
Culinary & Nutrition
Fresh, pungent aromatic leaves are used in Asian cooking, including curries and soups. The leaves can be dried for use later, but the flavour is inferior. A culinary must for all curry dishes. Use old and new leaves to get a balance of flavour.

Growing Conditions
Curry leaf prefers a full sun position protected from strong winds. They thrive in rich, moist, well-drained soil. In between watering, let the soil dry out. Mulch to suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Prune in mid-late spring to keep the plant healthy and producing large amounts of leaves.
