Helichrysum petiolare 'Liquorice Plant'

Soft Silver Foliage for Beautiful Garden Contrasts

Helichrysum petiolare, commonly known as Liquorice Plant, brings soft, velvety silver-grey foliage to garden beds and containers. Its branching, spreading stems soften the edges of paths and retaining walls, while the pale leaves create a beautiful contrast against deep-green or colourful planting.

• Rounded, softly felted silver-grey leaves
• Spreading, mounding growth, ideal for borders and cascading over walls
• A lovely foliage feature for pots and mixed garden beds
• Small creamy flower heads in summer; grown mainly for its decorative foliage
• Best in full sun to part shade with freely draining soil
• Tolerates dry periods once established; avoid persistently wet soil
• Trim regularly to encourage bushy growth and control its spread
• Protect young plants from heavy frost

Supplied as a tube stock plant, ready to grow on in your garden or a suitable container. Use as a soft silver backdrop to flowering plants, or allow it to spill gently over a pot or garden edge. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering as the plant settles in.
