WANTED: Anybody got a curry plant?

10 years ago

Hey
I was wondering if someone could help me with a curry plant to grow. I am not certain of what the botanical name is, but wikipedia says "Murraya koenigii". I am pretty new to gardenning but I feel with spring around the corner, now will be a good time to attempt :).. I have an Indian Basil plant that I have been growing for a year or more now and I can exchange stem off it..

Chemocurl, There are at least two different curry plants that are often confused. Since Seedssun used the name "Curry Leaf Plant" (and not "Curry Plant"), I believe that he's looking for Murraya koenigii, which is actually a small tree. The fresh or dried leaves of this plant are an important flavoring in South Indian and Sri Lankan cooking. The leaves of the other curry plant (Helichrysum italicum) are not edible, but are supposed to smell somewhat like curry (the spice mixture). Here is a link that might be useful: Curry Leaf Tree article in Wikipedia

I've got a couple of white irises I'll dig up for you Rosalinda...I also have diablo ninebark but it doesn't appear to have any shoots off of it. Can you root it? Hilde, I might have a couple of unknown varieties of phlox. I've got several but the tags faded so I don't remember which is which until they bloom. Brenda, I've got your plants already to go. The galardia looks a little wilty but I got plenty of root so hopefully it perks up. If not, I'll get you some more. Tauna, I've got bee balm set aside for you. Is anyone looking for any particular Iris? I've got so many now, and most are in bloom but it seems most years people don't end up taking them. If anyone is looking for any specific colors/varieties, let me know.
