Description
Helichrysum 'Red Jewel' is a wonderful hybrid everlasting selection with its red flowering set against a soft silver foliage, creating an exceptional contrast. Whether in the ground or in pots, it is a true ball of light that will enhance all other blooms and colorful foliage that accompany it. This sun-loving plant is a lovely novelty for balconies, seaside areas, and dry or waterless gardens in mild climates.
Helichrysum amorginum 'Red Jewel' is a 2017 English creation by Brenda Marion Bowyer. Just like the Italian everlasting, this species belongs to the large botanical family of Asteraceae. In its original regions, the amorginum everlasting is found in sunny spaces such as meadows and dry lawns, always on light and well-drained soils. The 'Red Jewel' variety forms a bushy, upright, and compact clump measuring 35cm (14in) tall by 40cm (16in) wide. It is a short-lived perennial that will benefit from regular pruning to maintain a dense habit, allowing it to age gracefully. It consists of numerous stems arising from a slightly suckering stump. Its soft foliage is silvery and woolly. The entire vegetation is covered with light and silky hairs, forming a short and dense felting, which becomes even whiter in dry conditions. The leaves, wider than those of Helichrysum italicum, are elongated, measuring 4-5cm (2in) in length, and tightly arranged on the stems, forming a very dense bush. Flowering occurs in April and May. It takes the form of small dark red flower buds, arranged in corymbs, before opening into numerous small deep red flowers. The flowers last a long time in dried bouquets, which is why this plant is called everlasting. The plant tolerates brief frosts of around -7°C (19.4°F) in well-drained conditions. It is evergreen under these conditions.
In the ground, Helichrysum 'Red Jewel' is used in rock gardens or in borders on gravel, at least in well-drained soils, in full sun, in regions spared from severe frosts. It is also an excellent plant for containers and flowering pots in colder regions. With its magnificent silver foliage and modest stature, this plant is an excellent companion for all its counterparts. For example, associate it with Cotton Lavenders, Salvias, and Hardy Geraniums. Also, consider the beautiful red blooms echoing the Carnations, Agastaches, and Armeria pseudarmeria 'Ballerina Red'. In pots, choose blue or violet Petunias, Scaevola, or Lobelias, all these plants will create scenes full of liveliness, even late in the season.

Planting and care
Plant Helichrysum 'Red Jewel' in a very sunny, sheltered location, and especially in perfectly well-drained, rocky, stony or sandy soil, slightly acidic to limestone. It is hardy up to approximately -7°C (19.4°F), but is sensitive to excess moisture, especially in winter. Like lavender, it is strongly recommended to prune it systematically to maintain a compact habit. In a pot, also use a well-draining compost and water regularly.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
