Helichrysum petiolare ‘Limelight’ is a trailing foliage annual known for its small, rounded, slightly fuzzy, bright lime green leaves.
Its vibrant color adds brightness and contrast to hanging baskets, planters, and mixed containers. It is primarily used as a trailing structural plant (cascade effect) to balance more colorful blooms.
Tolerant of heat and summer conditions, it prefers exposure to full sun to partial shade, in well-drained soil. It can withstand slight periods of drought once established.
