Why Choose Helichrysum petiolare (Liquorice Plant)?

Helichrysum petiolare thrives in a wide range of conditions, making it perfect for both beginner and experienced gardeners. Its soft, silver foliage pairs beautifully with green and darker-leaved plants, creating stunning garden contrasts. The liquorice plant is drought-tolerant once established and flourishes in coastal settings, exposed sites, rock gardens, and containers.

Growing Tips for the Liquorice Plant

To get the best from your liquorice plant for sale, plant it in full sun to light shade and free-draining soil. Helichrysum petiolare is as tough as it is attractive, tolerating dry spells, light frosts, and wind. Trim back in late winter or early spring to maintain a neat habit and encourage new, bushy growth. It also responds well to shaping, making it a versatile option for both formal and informal gardens.

For gardens featuring a range of textures and silver tones, consider complementing your liquorice plant with Helichrysum Silver or the eye-catching Helichrysum argyrophyllum. If you love introducing splashes of colour, Helichrysum Red Jewel is a fantastic addition.

Perfect Companions for Helichrysum petiolare

Looking to create a tapestry of stylish groundcovers? The liquorice plant pairs beautifully with silver-foliaged or trailing companions such as Helichrysum Graeme Patterson and Helichrysum retortum. For additional texture and bloom, try mixing with Artemisia ludoviciana 'Silver Queen', or set off its foliage against the golden variegation of Arabis ferdinandi-coburgi 'Old Gold' (Rockcress).

For gardens that need reliable coverage in shaded spots, Vinca major Variegata (Greater Periwinkle Plant) and the native Selliera radicans (Remuremu) also make excellent partners. For added interest, try incorporating Coprosma 'Kiwi Gold' among your plantings.
