Herb
Double Bloom
B tier
Double bloom curry plant selections are noted for heavier flowering (and thus eventual fruiting) cycles—more ornamental interest, with leaf still usable for cooking. Flower intensity does not replace leaf quality checks. Expect periods of bloom that bees enjoy; harvest leaf as usual between flushes. Some growers find flowering coincides with slight shifts in leaf bitterness—taste before a large tadka. Niche nursery trait.
