Helichrysum Silver

Helichrysum Silver is a shrub grown for its attractive, grey-white foliage. The leaves have a velvet appearance and are relatively thick. The foliage is complemented with cream-coloured flowers in summer as it grows to 50 cm tall and 1.5 m wide. Helichrysum Silver is commonly included in cottage gardens, 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 across a path.

How to grow Helichrysum Silver

To grow Helichrysum Silver, choose a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-draining soil. This hardy, evergreen plant thrives in a range of soils but prefers slightly sandy or loamy conditions and dislikes heavy, waterlogged ground. When planting, dig in some compost to improve soil structure and drainage. Position the plant so the crown is just above soil level and water it well after planting. Once established, Helichrysum Silver is drought-tolerant, needing only occasional watering during extended dry periods. It benefits from a light trim after flowering or in early spring to maintain its neat, compact shape and encourage fresh, dense growth. Fertilizing isn't usually necessary, but a light application of a general-purpose fertilizer in spring can promote vigour. It’s perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, and coastal gardens due to its tolerance of wind and salt spray.
