As the common name suggests, the narrow, silvery-grey leaves of this dense, dwarf sub-shrub smell strongly of curry. The small, everlasting, bright yellow flowers are produced in summer. This plant prefers a sunny, sheltered position on well-drained soil. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain a compact plant. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
