Bred for hot, sunny environments, Helichrysum petiolare (Licorice Plant) will blow you away with its amazingly soft, densely-felted foliage which brings interest to the border as well as a slight licorice fragrance!

It can form a lovely groundcover, spill over a wall or the edge of containers, intermingle with other plants, or be pruned into a dense, rounded thicket.
