Helichrysum Petiolare Dwarf (Dwarf Licorice Plant)
Helichrysum Petiolare Dwarf (Dwarf Licorice Plant) is a compact variety of the well-known Licorice Plant, with all the same aromatic silver-grey foliage, but in a more contained form. This plant features soft, trailing stems that can be used as ground cover or in hanging baskets, providing a striking silver contrast to other garden plants. Its aromatic leaves emit a mild licorice scent when touched, offering a sensory element to any space.
With its dwarf size, Helichrysum Petiolare Dwarf is ideal for small gardens, containers, or as an ornamental feature in sunny spots. It also produces small, yellow flowers, adding a delicate touch of colour while maintaining its attractive silvery appearance.
