As a Mediterranean plant, curry herb prefers a warm and dry location with lots of light. It doesn't tolerate waterlogging at all, but prolonged dryness doesn't bother it much. It only requires relatively little water and nutrients.
Which location does curry herb prefer?
Curry herb prefers a warm, sunny location with dry, sandy or stony soil. It is conditionally hardy and should ideally be kept in winter quarters at around +10°C in harsh areas.
Where does curry herb really feel at home?
During the summer you can plant your curry herb in the garden; a rock garden or Mediterranean garden with rather dry, preferably stony or sandy soil is suitable, for example. A sunny location is better than a partially shaded one.
Can curry herb overwinter outside?
The curry herb is partially hardy, so it can tolerate light frost, at least for a short time. Therefore, it should not necessarily overwinter outside in a harsh area. A winter quarter with around + 10 °C is ideal.
The most important things in brief:
- not really hardy
- warm sunny location preferred
- rather dry soil
Tip
Bright, warm and dry, this is what the ideal location for curry herb looks like.
