How to grow Helichrysum Limelight

To grow Helichrysum Limelight, 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 Limelight 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.

What are the Helichrysum Limelight benefits?

Helichrysum Limelight offers several benefits, particularly in landscaping and low-maintenance garden design. This hardy, evergreen shrub is prized for its striking lime-green foliage, which provides vibrant colour contrast year-round and helps brighten shaded or dull areas in the garden. It is drought-tolerant, wind-resistant, and salt-tolerant, making it ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, borders, and containers. Its dense, mounding habit also helps suppress weeds and stabilize soil on slopes and banks. Additionally, Helichrysum Limelight attracts beneficial insects such as bees when in flower and requires minimal care once established, needing only occasional watering during prolonged dry periods and a light trim to maintain its compact form. Its resilience and vivid color make it a popular choice for gardeners seeking a tough yet attractive plant for sunny to lightly shaded spots.
