Helichrysum
Description
Helichrysum crispum, often referred to as the 'curly everlasting,' is a hardy and versatile plant known for its silver-grey, tightly curled foliage. It's a popular choice for rock gardens, borders, and as a ground cover, adding texture and contrast to landscapes. The plant produces small, bright yellow, papery flowers that retain their color when dried, making it a favorite for dried flower arrangements. Helichrysum crispum thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought and poor soil conditions. To maintain its compact shape and encourage healthy growth, light pruning after flowering is beneficial.
