Helichrysum splendidum

 
Common name everlasting
Family asteraceae
Life cycle shrub (Z7)
Flowers yellow
Size 36"
Light sun
Cultural notes well-drained soil

Shrubby plant native to mountainous areas of Africa. Distinguished by its silver-hairy leaves, which provide the primary ornamental value, rather than the clusters of yellow flowers that appear throughout the growing season. Its leaves are somewhat aromatic. Best when regularly pruned.

We're just trying this plant for the first time this year; it hasn't found a permanent place in our gardens yet. (click here for a full list)
