Silver Threads Licorice Plant

Silver Threads is a compact, silver-foliaged helichrysum in the Silver series, sold for sunny containers and garden accents. Its narrow, soft silver foliage is the main ornamental feature, with sellers describing a spreading but controlled habit. Published sizes vary slightly, around 8–14 inches tall and 6–14 inches wide, so allow room for its spread. ## Site and use Plant it in full sun where the silver leaves can contrast with green foliage or brighter flowers. Its compact size suits mixed pots, container edges, and the front of a sunny border. Seller guidance lists medium or moderate water and describes the plant as drought tolerant; water regularly while it establishes, then check container mix as it dries faster than garden soil. Provide good drainage. ## Seasonal interest Ball Seed lists flowering in late summer and autumn, while the soft silver foliage remains a useful visual accent. Expect timing and growth to vary with climate and culture. See [Ball Seed's Silver Threads information](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=032008862043287) and [Selecta's Silver series guide](https://www.selectanorthamerica.com/SpringPlants/SeriesInfo/?phid=032008862043287) for product dimensions and growing guidance. ## Maintenance Trim lightly if the spreading growth extends beyond its allotted space. The grower describes the series as low maintenance and not overly aggressive. Avoid extremes of drying and saturation during establishment, and confirm local seasonal performance because sellers market the selection in annual programs and hardiness can differ by region.
