Petite Licorice Licorice Plant

Petite Licorice is a compact selection of *Helichrysum petiolare*, grown for soft silver-green leaves and a neat, leafy outline. It fills the edge of a container or a sunny border with foliage color from spring until frost. Proven Winners lists mature dimensions of 8–12 inches tall by 10–14 inches wide and treats it as a perennial in USDA zones 9–10; in colder areas it is generally grown as a seasonal plant. [Proven Winners](https://provenwinnersdirect.com/products/petite-licorice-licorice-plant) ## Garden Use The compact scale suits mixed containers, window boxes, and the front of a border. Its pale foliage contrasts well with darker leaves and flowering annuals. Leave room for the plant to fill its stated spread rather than crowding it tightly. ## Growing Conditions Give it part sun to full sun. The selection is described as heat tolerant and drought tolerant, though young plants and container-grown specimens still need regular checks while establishing. Its foliage interest is more reliable than any flower display. ## Maintenance Pinching is optional if a fuller outline is wanted. Deadheading is not needed for this foliage plant. Keep the container or bed draining freely, and reduce watering during cool weather when growth slows.
