Helianthemum 'Ben Hope'

rock rose

Product Image
This undemanding and easy to grow, ground-cover is a gorgeous sight in late spring and summer when its low mound of grey-green foliage is studded with yellow-eyed, pinkish red flowers. Sun-loving and drought-tolerant (once established), it looks great in gravel gardens or alpine beds, and it's also useful for softening the edges of a path or spilling over the rim of a pot.

How to care for Helianthemum Ben Hope:

Trim stems in mid- to late summer (after the flowers have faded) to encourage bushier growth. Older stems may not regenerate after pruning.
