Helichrysum Ruby Cluster
Compact plants with woolly, silver-green leaves add an unusual texture to the garden.
In summer, showy clusters of ball-shaped, deep pink buds are cradled in the soft foliage mounds.
They open to starry white flowers with prominent yellow centers. Provides excellent contrast in mixed containers.
