Title: Plant ID'd by David Dickinson and Hilary herself as Helichrysum 'Pink Sapphire'
Post by: Hilary on April 25, 2019, 06:24:15 PM

This was growing in a pot quite near the sea in Gerolimenas. Mani, Peloponnese.
Can anyone put a name to it?

Hi Hilary,

I once had a plant that I think was Helichrysum 'Ruby Cluster'. The buds were red and the flowers were white with yellow centres. Even if this is not the exact plant, it might give you a place to start. Mine rotted over the winter :-(

Many thanks.
It looks like Helichrysum 'Pink Sapphire'
Here is another photo of the plant taken before the sun came round.
Some open flowers can be seen which are white
