Helichrysum thianschanicum 'Icicles'
Icicles silver-leaf helichrysum
Long, narrow silver leaves give this foliage plant a fine-textured, upright appearance. Icicles contrasts well with broad leaves and colorful flowers in sunny containers. Grow it for its foliage and provide good drainage; it is not culinary curry leaf.
