Description:

Cape Gold Helichrysum is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub with grey woolly leaves, commonly found on rocky slopes, mountain tops, and gullies across South Africa. Its yellow flowers are characteristic of the Helichrysum genus, deriving from the Greek words "Helios" (sun) and "Chrysos" (gold). The splendidum variety, however, is noted for its papery texture, and like all Helichrysums, it is deeply rooted in local traditions and praised for its versatility.
