Helichrysum amorginum 'Ruby Cluster' is an extremely attractive plant, forming a small mound of narrow, felty grey leaves. In spring, ruby-red buds appear, which open to pink flowers that eventually fade to white. It’s perfect for planting at the front of a sunny border or gravel garden, and is well suited to growing in a pot.
Grow Helichrysum amorginum 'Ruby Cluster' in well-drained soil in full sun. Add course grit to the planting hole to improve drainage if necessary, and don’t over-water. In colder regions you may need to offer protection against winter wet.
