Helichrysum italicum serotinum

Silvery foliage and an aromatic presence give this Mediterranean beauty year-round appeal. Helichrysum italicum serotinum forms a neat mound of slender silver-grey leaves that release a warm curry-like fragrance when brushed, creating a sensory feature in borders, gravel gardens and patio containers. In summer, clusters of tiny golden-yellow flowers rise above the foliage, adding brightness and texture while contrasting beautifully with the cool-toned leaves. Its compact, sun-loving habit brings structure and colour to dry garden schemes, pairing especially well with lavender, santolina and ornamental grasses. Even when not in flower, the finely textured foliage remains highly decorative and adds a soft, shimmering quality to planting displays. Stylish, distinctive and full of Mediterranean character, this evergreen perennial earns its place through every season.
