Helichrysum petiolare Licorice plant – 14cm

Evergreen

Helichrysum petiolare, also called liquorice plant, is a spreading, shrub-like evergreen with soft, heart-shaped grey foliage. Native to South Africa, it grows 30 to 60 cm high and 1 to 2 m wide, so it works as a groundcover or a loose, mounding shrub.

Small cream flowers appear in summer, but the silvery foliage is the main feature all year. It makes a good contrast beside darker or brightly coloured plants in rockeries, borders and garden edges, and it can spill over walls or out of large containers. Grow it in semi shade in well-drained soil, and trim lightly to keep it tidy.

A hidden GEM! 💎 only 14 mins from home.
The customer service was the first thing I noticed, that worth the 5 starts by itself! The level of care they showed me was unmatched, we had a great couple of chats.
The prices are unmissable and the plant quality is lovely. Very lively healthy blooms everywhere.
Leroy the Cavoodle was on duty and was super cute and came up to me for a little snuggle every now and then.
I will DEFINITELY be spending lots more time and $ here!!
Thank you very much.
