How to grow

Tip pruning when Helichrysum plants are approx. 20cm will encourage more flower stems. Regularly deadhead to encourage repeat flowering throughout the summer season. To dry the flower, harvest soon after the flower opens, remove excess foliage and hang upside down in a well-ventilated position out of direct sunlight.
