Helichrysum Red Jewel

Helichrysum Red Jewel is a compact, evergreen sub-shrub valued for its silver, softly hairy foliage and striking summer display: clusters of red buds open to crisp white, daisy-like flowers with a bold yellow centre that are attractive to pollinators. Growing to around 0.5 m high and wide, it thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers moist but well-drained soil, making an eye-catching choice for coastal and courtyard settings, beds and borders, low informal edging, and containers. Frost hardy in well-drained positions; protect from severe cold and winter wet.
