Helichrysum italicum, known as the Curry Plant or l'Immortelle, is an evergreen grey-leaved perennial that will bring a distinctly Mediterranean odor to your windowsill or garden.
The flowers - small and yellow bring a sharp contrast to the grey foliage.
The name of the plant itself attempts to describe them (ἥλιος = helios, sun and χρῡσός = chrysos, gold in Ancient Greek.... so SunGold or GoldSun).
The flowers also hold their form for a long time, even in a bouquet - perhas this is the origin of the "Immortelle" nickname?
Do not hesitate to cut the plant back after flowering as it can start to lose shape and begin to sprawl.
