Helichrysum italicum - A silver-leaved herb with a warm, curry-like scent that adds a distinctive aroma to any garden. Ideal for fragrance gardens, potpourri, and decorative borders where its compact form and attractive foliage can be appreciated. Prefers full sun and well-drained, dry soil; highly drought tolerant once established. Works well planted near rosemary and lavender, complementing their textures and scents. The silvery leaves release a warm, spicy fragrance when brushed or crushed. Native to the Mediterranean, this hardy shrub is valued primarily for its aromatic qualities rather than for culinary use.
Key Uses: Fragrance gardens, potpourri, decorative borders.
Growing conditions: Full sun, dry soil, drought tolerant.
Companion notes: Useful near rosemary and lavender.
