How to keep Helichrysum Patulum.
Pruning
Helichrysum patulum benefits greatly from pruning in early spring, which helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy growth. To promote denser foliage and more abundant flowering, trim any damaged stems back to the nodes. Removing spent blooms, or deadheading, can also extend the blooming period. Consistent pruning prevents legginess and keeps the plant looking robust and attractive.
