The lime leafed variety of the ever popular Helichrysum petiolare! Not as tough or resilient as its silver cousin, 'Limelight' prefers semi-shaded, moist soil conditions to keep its lush, fresh lime appearance. Makes a great container or hanging basket specimen, but in addition contrasts well with dark foliage in the garden beneath trees. 'Limelight' can handle more sun but tends to take on a washed out yellow hue instead of the desired lime. Trim regularly and keep out of frost. 80cm x 1m if left unpruned. Plant with Plectranthus Velvet series for appeal.
