Helichrysum pagophilum
« on: September 10, 2016, 09:05:33 PM »
Hello...i have a question about Helichrysum pagophyllum. Has anyone of you in the portifolio? For me,  it grows very well but it has never bloomed.

What am i doing wrong?

Greetings and thanks
Thomas

I've never seen flowers on this plant, Thomas - and I'm not sure it does flower in cultivation. When seen at Shows it is usually in the foliage classes.
While it is often named as H. pagophyllum, I believe the correct spelling (as per Kew Plant List)  is Helichrysum pagophilum.

The only times I have seen flowers on the plant have been in photos from the wild.

A lovely mound of tight, silvery foliage. I guess everyone is propagation it by cuttings then if no flowers?

Maggi...thanks for the quick response and the correction of spelling. So everything is fine with H. pagophillum.

There are indeed some Alpine need several years to flowers. If, for example, after seven years this spring Hebe tetrasticha.
