Goldilocks
Helichrysum stoechas
Goldilocks (Helichrysum stoechas) is a compact, silver-leaved Mediterranean everlasting flower that thrives in sunny, well-drained or sandy soils with minimal care. Once established it is highly drought-tolerant and rarely needs supplemental watering, making it ideal for rock gardens, coastal borders, and dry Mediterranean-style plantings. Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh growth.
