What are those gorgeous acid green leaves: Boy, no kidding. The pots on the patio have needed nearly daily

Boy, no kidding. The pots on the patio have needed nearly daily watering all summer long. They get a lot of sun in the afternoon as the patio faces west. They've gotten a trifle crispy a few times, but they're hangin' in there and fortunately the helichrysum is happily upstaging the toasted lobelia, tired petunias and fading salvia. The little yellow marigolds are still kicking. I think I would actually prefer the 'Moe's Gold' in the pots next year as it seems to stay flatter and use the regular helichrysum in the Moon Garden where it can lose its mind and fill in all the spaces.
