  Try Bodmin nursery.

  Just to confirm you mean Helichrysum italicum...common name Curry plant.
  24 nurseries are listed as selling it.

  The reason I ask is that there is also a tropical tree known as Murraya koenigii.....curry leaf tree.

  i think my curry plant either came from chacewater garden centre or from the stall at the side of the road between blackwater and chacewater but i don't think that's what you mean.
  
  the easiest place to get a curry leaf plant would probably be the citrus centre, online.
  i haven't come across any in garden centres down here - i have been looking and even tried taking cuttings from a bunch bought in an asian supermarket (but i assumed they had been cut for too long).

  @Silver surfer that helichrysum is called the curry plant because of its smell.
  
  Curry leaf is grown for its culinary properties.  Never seen it here either as a plant or a herb for sale in SMs of any descrition so I substitute a bay leaf or two, when I remember.

  Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

  I bought my curry leaf plant by post (the culinary one, not the helichrysum which brings me out in a rash).  
  
  I got it from the citrus centre as I like to support small businesses rather than amazon, and got the smallest one which is now about 5 foot tall and supplies regular curries.
