Helichrysum italicum ‘Silvio’ (Spreading Curry Plant)

Helichrysum italicum ‘Silvio’ is a compact, spreading evergreen perennial valued for its soft silvery-grey foliage and elegant trailing habit. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves create a dense carpet of fine-textured foliage, making it an excellent choice for cascading over retaining walls, softening garden edges, filling rockeries, or spilling gracefully from containers and hanging baskets. The attractive silver foliage provides year-round contrast and complements both flowering plants and other drought-tolerant species.

Ideal for Mediterranean, coastal, and water-wise gardens, ‘Silvio’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, where it requires very little maintenance once established. Highly tolerant of heat and dry conditions, it is perfect for low-water landscapes and decorative container displays. Its compact growth habit and elegant foliage make Helichrysum italicum ‘Silvio’ a versatile addition to contemporary and traditional garden designs.
