The frosty, felted foliage of the Licorice plant has endeared it to garden designers and home gardeners who have a keen eye for texture. The Proven Accents® Licorice Splash Licorice Plant adds a splash of creamy variegation to the mix to make it a top contender for “Best Foliage.” Plus, the Licorice Splash features a chartreuse shade that offers a punch of brightness to hanging baskets, beds, borders and containers. Plant your licorice plant in an area that gets over four hours of sunlight per day and get rewarded with lush, compact growth.
The Licorice Splash Licorice Plant grows up to 12” high and has a spread of up to 18”, making it the perfect “filler” plant in containers, and a lovely foliage plant in the landscape. The upright growth habit is also bushy and compact, which can look lovely in window boxes and perennial borders. Plus, licorice plants are heat and drought tolerant, so they are low maintenance options for containers and beds in hot, dry locations.
Proven Accents Licorice Splash Licorice Plant Care
Licorice Plants are very low-maintenance annuals and the Proven Accents® Licorice Splash variety is no different. They require no deadheading and can withstand hot, dry conditions. They don’t require consistent fertilizing or watering. However, it is important to water them anytime the top 1-2” of soil is dry to the touch. Make sure you don’t overwater. Licorice plants don’t like soggy soil, and their roots can rot if they are overwatered.
Proven Accents Licorice Splash Licorice Plant Spacing
Give your licorice plant a little more room to grow in a garden bed than in a container. When planting in a garden bed, plant up to 18” apart. When planting into containers, baskets or window boxes, plant them closer together. They can be planted as close as 6” apart in these containers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
