Curry Leaf Myrtle (Backhousia angustifolia) is a dense, evergreen shrub or small tree producing aromatic, edible foliage with a warm, curry-like fragrance and a complex flavor profile that may include hints of honey, lavender, or aniseed, depending on growing conditions. Its fluffy white, curry-flavored flowers bloom in late spring, attracting pollinators. Native to Southeast Queensland and Northeastern New South Wales, it thrives in full sun to shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil. Growing slowly to 5m tall and 3m wide, it provides year-round harvests of leaves, ideal as a culinary spice. Its striking two-toned leaves and seasonal blooms make it perfect for Australiana gardens, courtyards, and edible screens.
