Helichrysum Red Jewel 180MM

Helichrysum amorginum Red Jewel

I am Helichrysum Red Jewel. My family originated from Greece.

Habit Shrub - Bird and bee attracting

Plant family Asteraceae

I am a small, evergreen shrub with velvety silver foliage and have vibrant red buds and flowers in spring. Originating in the Mediterranean I am admired for my bright foliage and blooms and work well in the garden. My blooms will retain their colour when picked as cut or dried flowers. Hardy I enjoy full sun and am tolerant of most well drained soils. I also do well in containers. I am a pollinator friendly plant.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

Ruby red buds open to long lasting paler papery blooms in spring and summer

I am a hardy shrub that tolerates some frost and dry conditions

My cut flowers make great fresh or dried arrangements
