Helichrysum italicum subsp. siculum (Jord. & Fourr.) Galbany & al.
This plant has a similar appearance to Helichrysum italicum subsp. italicum, but has noticeably shorter leaves. It typically flowers from May to September. Helichrysum italicum subsp. siculum plants grow up to 40 cm high and will thrive on nearly any terrain. Because of its ease of growth, this plant will be one of the first found growing in newly opened land. This subspecies is found primarily on the Mediterranean island of Sicily, but has also been found on Sardinia and Corsica up to 1300 meters’ altitude.
