Helichrysum petiolare ‘Silver Star’ (Silver Star Licorice Plant)

Helichrysum petiolare ‘Silver Star’ is an attractive, foliage-focused groundcover prized for its soft, silvery-white leaves and cascading growth habit. Its rounded, slightly felted foliage creates a beautiful shimmering effect, adding texture and contrast to garden beds and container displays. Small, subtle creamy-white flowers may appear during the warmer months, although its main appeal is its distinctive silver foliage.

Ideal for garden borders, rockeries, retaining walls, hanging baskets and decorative pots, Helichrysum petiolare ‘Silver Star’ spreads readily to create a soft carpet of foliage or an elegant trailing feature. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens and water-wise landscapes.
