Helichrysum petiolare Licorice Plant:

Family: Compositae
Common names: Licorice plant
4 1/2" pot, 15/tray

The beloved licorice plant has no licorice flavor, scent or resemblance to licorice (where did that name come from?). Be that as it may, very useful for foliage effect in baskets and containers and perfectly nice by itself as a ground cover, especially in partial shade where it will brighten things up. This plant likes plenty of moisture in a well drained garden soil.

Silvery, penny sized leaves grow with abandon in containeers and in the ground. Plant it where it can weave through the garden freely. The silver whiter foliage is a nice backdrop for deep maroon flowers. Size: 12 x 30" Spacing: 10-12" Full sun to partial shade
