Licorice plant. A sprawling subshrub reaching 2-4’ tall and grown primarily for its handsome foliage that occasionally emits a subtle licorice aroma. Both the silvery-gray stems and densely arranged heart-shaped leaves are covered with soft, velvety white hairs. The cream-colored bracts appearing in late spring do not always produce flowers. An excellent foliage plant, the licorice plant can unfortunately be invasive and has escaped into native systems in the Bay Area. Hardy to 32F. South Africa.
