Helichrysum petiolare (Licorice Plant)
Color Name: Silver
Silver Helichrysum is a great plant to add to any floral environment. Its high versatility makes it a wise choice for hanging baskets or in a patio container combination. Create beautiful potted combinations or use as accent plants in your garden landscape. Its vigorous growth habit and low maintenance characteristics make it an excellent choice for annual beds, borders, containers, and window boxes. Its velvet, silvery-white leaves make a wonderful contrast to other plants.
Growing Tips: Helicrysum Silver is a low maintenance plant that is heat tolerant. Water application a few times a week is still recommended. Be sure to apply low to the ground, near the plant's main stem, avoiding wetting the plant's foliage, for quick absorption and utilization. Remember to ensure good drainage in both containers and landscaping, to prevent diseases like root rot. Drainage holes, elevated flower
gardens, and proper soil composition are three great ways to prevent root rot and help your plants maintain a healthy moisture level.
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance. We suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants.
