    I bought a curry plant last year for our caravan rockery garden. It looked lovely, I do like grey/green plants. After a relatively mild winter, I have a few stems of nice growth, but other stems are about 6" dead with new growth on top of this. It is not a pretty sight. Sorry no photo. Is it OK to cut all the poor stems back to base now, hoping for late spring growth?

    TIA

    I think the time to cutback is spring (March, April, May) so I think it should be ok, that said I've only had mine for about 10 months.
