Do a little, get a lot. Licorice plants are exceptionally easy to grow. They don¹t need much in the way of fertilizers. Avoid over-watering. Bushy but compact habit. Foliage is an evenly-variegated pale green and white.

Features

Delightful gray-green leaves with creamy variegation
• Deadheading Not Necessary
• Drought Tolerant *
• Foliage Interest
• Heat Tolerant
• Low Maintenance

*Even drought tolerant annual and perennial plants will need water for the first few weeks while they get established. Shrubs and trees will need to be watered for the first year after they are planted. After this, little or no supplemental water will be necessary when planted in the ground. No plant is truly drought tolerant in a container; water is necessary for all plants in containers.
