18-24" tall x 30-36" wide. A fabulous, recent introduction to American horticulture, Silver Curry bush hails from the distant and very cold Tian Shan Mountains on the border between Kazakhstan and western China. The fine textured, evergreen foliage is pure white in bright sun; it’s the plant’s most attractive feature. When brushed, the leaves give off the pleasant scent of curry. The small yellow yarrow-like flowers appear in mid-summer but aren’t very showy. This is a plant that thrives in extreme conditions thriving in hot, dry sites with cold winters. Yet it does extremely well in the mild climate of the Pacific Northwest. A very versatile small shrub! Cut back by a foot every 3 to 4 years to re-invigorate it and give it a compact shape. Low fertility, well-drained soil. Plant with Lavender and Russian sage.

"Great products delivered fresh for planting"
"Great products arrived fresh"
"Has been virtually, carefree in a hot, sunny and dry part of my Los Angeles garden. There are only pluses. Has grown steadily into a 2' x 3' x 2' high bush. Requires very little attention, no food, and very little water. No pests. Cut back for first time at 4 years to clear sidewalk. I want more of them but they have been unavailable. Does not reseed itself, unfortunately. Please bring this one back."
"I'm in zone 6a, NY. This plant didn't make it through a relatively mild winter. I just pulled it up today. It grew very well its first summer though (no blooms but very attractive ghostly gray foliage), so maybe treat it as an annual here. It could also be that it wasn't the cold that killed it, but rather our wet winter. So those in drier zone 6 climates shouldn't be discouraged from trying it."
"I was so delighted when I opened my box from HCG to see three gorgeously pale, frosty, strong and multi-stemmed plants! These beauties are bursting with vitality and sooooo pretty. Even the very lowest leaves on the stem which had died, still looked nice and barely any different from the live leaves."
"This fit my need for a silver foliage plant near several green and grey-green plants. The yellow blooms are a nice contrast to the foliage. The curry scent when the leaves are crushed is very distinctive. I watered the plant the first year and haven't since. I tend to plant natives, but I am glad that I added this one to my garden."
