Helichrysum Petiolatum (Licorice Plant) is a trailing evergreen perennial known for its soft silver-grey foliage and cascading growth habit. It is widely used in hanging baskets, containers, borders, and groundcover plantings where texture and foliage contrast are important. Its velvety leaves create a cooling visual effect that complements colourful flowering plants and modern landscape designs.

Licorice Plant thrives in full sun to part shade and performs exceptionally well in well-drained soil and dry conditions once established. It is ideal for waterwise gardens, retaining walls, and decorative containers where its trailing stems can spill naturally. Easy to grow and low maintenance, it provides year-round ornamental foliage interest.
