Helichrysum
'Red Jewel'
strawflower
Helichrysum 'Red Jewel', also known as strawflower, is a striking evergreen perennial that brings both elegance and colour to your garden. With its soft, silvery foliage forming a lush backdrop, this plant produces clusters of ruby-red buds. The bold colour of Helichrysum 'Red Jewel' creates a beautiful contrast against its silvery leaves, making it a stunning addition to borders, rockeries, and pots. Its compact, bushy habit ensures it holds its shape throughout the seasons, providing year-round interest in your garden.
Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, Helichrysum 'Red Jewel' is as resilient as it is beautiful. Thriving in well-drained soil and a sunny spot, it’s perfect for adding both texture and vibrant colour to your garden with minimal fuss. Its evergreen nature means that even when it’s not in bloom, the soft silvery leaves still offer structure and colour, especially in winter. If you're looking for a low-maintenance perennial with plenty of personality and year-round appeal, look no further than Helichrysum 'Red Jewel'.
Our Helichrysum 'Red Jewel' plants are supplied as a 9cm pot with healthy growth, ensuring a strong start. They are carefully shipped in our unique cardboard box, designed to keep them safe and in top condition. This ensures they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
