How to Plant Immortelle from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoors: Sow seeds in early spring after the last frost.
  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost for earlier blooms.

Seed Preparation

  • Immortelle seeds do not require stratification.
  • Soaking seeds overnight in warm water can help speed up germination.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  2. Loosen soil and mix in a small amount of compost.
  3. Scatter seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil.
  4. Cover seeds with a thin layer (1/8 inch) of sand or soil.
  5. Water gently and keep the area moist but not soggy.
  6. Germination occurs in 2-4 weeks, depending on temperature.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  1. Use seed trays or small pots with sandy, well-draining soil.
  2. Sow seeds on the surface and cover lightly.
  3. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  4. Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
  5. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, harden them off before transplanting outdoors.

Pro Tip

Pinch back the stems to promote bushier growth and more blooms. If you’re growing it for dried flowers, harvest when the blooms are just starting to open for the best preservation.

Bonus: Its sunny yellow blooms are perfect for adding a pop of color and texture to dried arrangements!

Getting to know your Immortelle

Immortelle, also known as the curry plant, is a drought-tolerant perennial with silvery, aromatic foliage and small yellow flowers. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, growing 1-2 feet tall. The flowers retain their color when dried, making them popular in everlasting bouquets. Immortelle has medicinal and cosmetic uses, particularly in skincare.

What it's used for

1. Medicinal & Aromatherapy Uses:

  • The essential oil of Immortelle is prized for its anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antioxidant properties.
  • Used in skincare to treat scars, wounds, and signs of aging.
  • Helps with respiratory issues, muscle pain, and stress relief in aromatherapy.

2. Ornamental Gardening:

  • Ideal for drought-tolerant landscapes, rock gardens, and Mediterranean-style gardens.
  • Provides a pop of golden color and aromatic foliage.

3. Culinary Uses:

  • While not commonly consumed, the leaves have a mild curry scent and are used to flavor soups and stews.

4. Dried Floral Arrangements:

Growth Requirements

Light:

  • Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours per day).
  • Can tolerate partial shade but may have fewer flowers.

Soil:

  • Prefers well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil.
  • Thrives in poor, dry, slightly alkaline soils (pH 6.5-8.0).
  • Avoid heavy clay or overly rich soils, which can cause root rot.

Watering:

  • Drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal watering.
  • Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering.

Temperature & Climate:

  • Hardy in USDA zones 7-11.
  • Prefers warm, dry climates with low humidity.
  • Can tolerate mild frost but benefits from winter protection in colder regions.

Fertilization:

  • Does not require much fertilization; apply light compost or organic mulch in spring.
  • Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth with fewer flowers.
Maintenance

Watering:

  • Water sparingly; overwatering can cause root rot and fungal issues.
  • Established plants only need occasional watering during dry spells.

Pruning & Deadheading:

  • Trim faded flowers to promote continuous blooming.
  • Cut back plants lightly in early spring to encourage new growth.

Disease & Pest Prevention:

  • Generally pest-resistant, but may attract aphids.
  • Ensure good air circulation to prevent mildew or fungal diseases.
Pests and Diseases

Pests:

  • Aphids – Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Diseases:

  • Root Rot – Avoid overwatering and ensure soil is well-drained.
  • Powdery Mildew – Provide good air circulation and avoid wetting the leaves.
