Curry Leaf Plant
|
Famous for its various nutrition and heath benefits as well as flavoring, it is a staple of South Asian cuisine. It is also difficult to get. It is a great container plant (though it requires some frost protection when young), and can be in the ground when older, so long as it is a warmer spot. Well worth it for those who like interesting edibles!
See you at the sale!
