Description
Immortelle Extract is a plant extract of organically cultivated flowers of the Helichrysum italicum plant Asteraceae (Daisy) that grows wild in the dry, often rocky Mediterranean fields and mountains of Croatia.
and is evocative of the striking habitat of this plant in its bright maize-colored meadows. Immortelle is French for
immortal
or everlasting
and refers to the straw-like flowers that appear living even after they have dried – in a bright yellow color as if frozen in time. It is also called curry plant
because the creased twigs leave a strong curry scent on the fingers. Immortelle is a plant that can grow in even the most depleted soils and under very harsh conditions, provided there is abundant sunshine.
