Silver Mist, also known as Helichrysum microphyllum, Plectostachys serphyllifolia, or Licorice Plant, is a perennial foliage plant native to the Mediterranean. Its silver-green foliage offers ornamental value with a mounding, spreading habit of 6-8" tall and 18-24" wide. Perennial in zone 7-11, Silver Mist flourishes in full sun, bringing texture and aromatic foliage to the landscape. This plant excels in containers, borders, and houseplant collections. For a taller, heat-loving variety, try growing Fancifillers Silverstar.
Sell Silver Mist in combination containers or to customers looking for a low-maintenance foliage plant for a container, border, or hanging basket. Customers will love this plant's long-lasting attractive foliage and heat tolerance. Silver Mist flourishes in full sun with minimal water, bringing depth and texture to patio containers and hanging baskets. Create a striking combination of texture and color by pairing this plant with Geranium, Coleus, Calibrachoa, and Petunia. Perennial in zone 7-11, Helichrysum can overwinter in a container indoors or be replaced annually in colder climates. Enjoy the color and texture of this accent foliage in a houseplant collection too!

1. Space plants 18-26" apart in well-drained soil in full sun. Grow seedling plugs closer together in combinations.
2. Water occasionally when the top of the soil is dry.
For best results with Silver Mist, plant one rooted plug per 1801 cell or 4-inch container or three per 6-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5, EC of 1.5-2.0 mS/cm, medium feed (225-300 ppm N), and temperatures of 65-75 daytime and 62-65 nighttime. Don't pinch or use PGRs. This plant isn't prone to pests but may develop botrytis in overly wet conditions.
Grow this plant for its silver-green foliage.
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.
Don't use PGRs with this plant. Stretching isn't a problem with proper cultural practices.
This plant isn't prone to pests.
Silver Mist isn't prone to disease but can be susceptible to botrytis in overly wet conditions. Implement an Integrated Pest Management strategy in your greenhouse. Watch for signs of botrytis and do not overwater. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
Botrytis is a common fungal disease that causes brown spots on stems, leaves, and flowers. Remove and destroy affected plants, maintain appropriate humidity levels, and apply fungicides with boscalid, fenhexamid, or iprodione to control the spread. Water plants in the morning and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
We recommend planting one seedling plug per 1801 cell or 4-inch container or three per gallon container. Use well-drained soil and center or evenly space the ellepots in the containers. Gallon containers finish in 9-10 weeks.
