Discover the captivating beauty of Helichrysum petiolatum, commonly known as Licorice Plant, Silver-bush Everlasting Flower, or Trailing Dusty Miller. This hardy evergreen shrub thrives in hot, sunny climates, showcasing soft, densely-felted foliage with a subtle licorice scent. Ideal for diverse garden landscapes, its trailing stems and velvety silver leaves create elegant ground covers, enhance container displays, and adorn rocky or border gardens. Despite its tiny, insignificant white flowers, its silvery foliage is a true showstopper, earning it the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993.

Reaching up to 1-2 feet in height and spreading 3-4 feet wide, this drought-tolerant plant flourishes in average, well-drained soils, tolerating poor soil with ease. Its low maintenance and deer-resistant nature make it perfect for busy gardeners. Helichrysum petiolatum thrives in full sun to partial shade and complements hanging baskets, window boxes, and underplanting with roses. As an easy-to-care-for, vibrant choice, it requires minimal watering and simple pruning, delivering lush silver-white foliage and vigorous growth all season long.
