This is not the commercial source of curry power. Curry powder is a mixture of several herbs and spices. This plant is popular for delightfully curry-scented foliage. Related to the strawflower, it bears attractive golden yellow flowers. The English use this herb in cream cheese for sandwiches and in salads, especially egg and chicken. The essential oil is used to enhance fruit flavors in confections and perfumes.
