Curry plant

Just bought a small curry plant for the moon garden but its looking a bit pathetic near the base. Can they be planted deeper like Lavender or does the plant stock bit need to be above the ground???image

    Strikes well from cuttings too - I use little sideshoots with a heel image

    That's great Verdun. The grounds not to bad at that end of the garden so should be able to drop it a little then image The whole garden needs some good stuff put in the garden but I have been pocket planting, however, if the curry plant prefers poor soil, that will save some compost lol. I did wonder if it would need to be cut back too. I don't mind as not in flower and know it will benefit from it.

    Dove, I didn't realise that cuttings were so easy to take from them image Thats great news image More free plants image Thanks guys for your help.

    Ahhhh, I did see some in flower today and was kinda thinking of keeping trimmed so it wont go to flower. Thankyou image

    Just take the lower leaves off so they don't rot in contact with the soil. image

    Very similar to Lavender cuttings then?

    I don't like yellow on silver so have just cut my flowers off. Do root easily I stole mine years ago image from a garden which had spread onto the pavement, only a tiny piece of new growth. Naughty KEF. But it now has a good home and was happy in a pot when we first moved.image
