TEXT: Helichrysum argyrophyllum (Asteraceae) Here is Helichrysum argyrophyllum, from South Africa. Flowers in autumn, the intense silver foliage mat is a perfect foil for the golden yellow everlasting flowers. Fairly hardy, our plant which rarely experiences a frost is many years old. Best planted in an open sunny position and ideal for larger rock gardens.
