Dwarf Curry Plant
A tier
Dwarf curry plant selections stay compact for pots and small gardens while producing usable aromatic leaflets. Flavour tracks the species; yield per plant is lower, but balcony growers gain access to fresh leaves. Provide heat, light, and well-drained soil; protect from cold. Pinch tips to encourage bushiness. Dwarf forms are a cultivation trait, not a different spice. Harvest sparingly until plants establish.
