What are those gorgeous acid green leaves: I'm trying to think if I've ever done helichrysum in the shade.

I'm trying to think if I've ever done helichrysum in the shade. I can't believe the 'limelight' wouldn't burn in full sun, though...interesting.

I have a rather flat-growing but VERY silver Helichrysum 'Moe's Gold' making a ground cover in the Moon Garden and the more common grey Helichrysum just CARRYING the show in huge pots on the back patio of the main house. They seem to get a little leaf-miner-y late in the summer, but other than that behave VERY well.
