Varieties of Curry Leaf Plants We Offer
At Happiest Plants, we understand that different growers have different needs, preferences, and space considerations. That's why we offer a range of curry leaf plant varieties, each with unique characteristics. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve introduced a review system that rates each variety based on flavor, aroma, and growth rate. Here are the varieties we offer, starting with our most recommended:
Suhasini
Suhasini is our most recommended and premium variety due to its supreme flavor and aroma. It has smaller leaves and is highly sought after, making it our most expensive variety. Although it is a slow grower initially, it becomes low-maintenance after hard pruning at around 24 months.
- Flavour: 5/5
- Aroma: 5/5
- Growth Rate: 3/5
Indian Gamthi
The Indian Gamthi is another premium variety, known for its striking red leaf strands and exceptional flavour and aroma. It is a slow grower and produces fewer seeds, which limits availability and increases its price. This variety is highly desirable for its unique appearance.
- Flavour: 4/5
- Aroma: 5/5
- Growth Rate: 2/5
Ceylon Gamthi
Ceylon Gamthi is a rare variety that grows quickly and offers enhanced flavour and aroma. It has larger and wider leaves, making it a practical choice for those looking for a fast-growing, low-maintenance plant. However, it is more susceptible to pests.
- Flavour: 4/5
- Aroma: 4/5
- Growth Rate: 4/5
Andra Variety
The Andra variety is a recent development aimed at fast growth with acceptable flavor and aroma. Recognizable by its distinct leaf shape, it is becoming increasingly common due to large-scale tissue culture propagation. While we don’t sell this variety individually, it is included in our curry leaf bundle.
- Flavour: 3/5
- Aroma: 3/5
- Growth Rate: 4/5
Dwarf / Gomati Variety
The Dwarf variety is ideal for those living in flats or apartments. It is a short, bushy plant that produces abundant, flavourful leaves. It offers a good balance between size and productivity.
- Flavour: 3/5
- Aroma: 4/5
- Growth Rate: 4/5
Regular
The Regular variety is the most common and affordable option. It is a good starting point for beginners and grows relatively quickly. While it may not have the intense flavor of the rarer varieties, it still enhances many dishes with its essential curry leaf taste and aroma.
- Flavour: 2/5
- Aroma: 2/5

Indo/Thai Variety
The Indo/Thai variety is the fastest-growing among all curry leaf plants. However, it significantly lacks flavour and aroma, which is why we do not sell this variety.
- Flavour: 1/5
- Aroma: 1/5
- Growth Rate: 5/5
