Aromatic plant carried on changing appearance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coriander

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'aromatic plant' is the definition.
'coriander' can be an answer for 'plant' (coriander is a kind of plant). I'm not certain of the 'aromatic' bit.

'carried on changing appearance' is the wordplay.
'carried on' anagrams to 'CORIANDER'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coriander that I've seen before include "Plant with spicy fruit" , "Aromatic herb" , "leaves for cooking" , "Culinary herb" , "ingredient of coronation chicken?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
