Species and varieties: Helichrysum, commonly known as strawflower or everlasting flower, belongs to the Asteraceae family. There are over 600 species of Helichrysum, with popular varieties including Helichrysum bracteatum, Helichrysum italicum (curry plant), and Helichrysum petiolare (licorice plant).
Hybrid or heirloom: Helichrysum seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Heirloom varieties are often preferred for their traditional growth patterns and unique characteristics, while hybrid varieties may offer improved disease resistance and growth performance.
Pruning and training: Helichrysum plants generally require minimal pruning. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. For trailing varieties like Helichrysum petiolare, occasional trimming can help control growth and shape the plant.
Fertilization needs: Helichrysum plants are not heavy feeders. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in the spring can support healthy growth. Over-fertilization should be avoided as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Hardiness zones: Helichrysum plants are typically suitable for USDA hardiness zones 8-11. Some species, like Helichrysum italicum, can tolerate zones as low as 7.
Climate requirements: Helichrysum thrives in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil. They prefer full sun exposure and can tolerate drought conditions once established. These plants are well-suited for Mediterranean climates and can also grow in temperate regions with proper care.
