Helichrysum petiolare Details

Helichrysum petiolare, commonly known as the Licorice plant, is a popular, evergreen shrub that is often used as a groundcover. It produces long stems that host small and rounded, grey-silver leaves. The leaves have a velvet appearance and are held densely, making this plant ideal for suppressing weeds. The leaves are complemented with cream-coloured flowers in summer. It typically grows to 50 cm tall and 1.5 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of short periods of dry, moderate frost, and coastal environments. Helichrysum petiolare is commonly included in rock and cottage gardens, used in border plantings, maintained in a container, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools and the like, or mass planted as a groundcover on a bank. This is a rewarding plant that looks amazing when allowed to spill out over a wall or across a path.
