Helianthemum
nummelarium 'rose glory' - Dark Pink Sunrose |
| These
European rockrose relatives make a bold statement in the spring and often again in the
fall. Each flower on Helianthemum 'Rose Glory' may only last a day or two but
the plants produce so many of them that
the plant is covered in bloom for several months. A Helianthemum with green leaves seems to peter out in our
inland location when placed in full sun or in dark shade. Helianthemum
Rose Glory will do poorly with
traffic but put in the right location put on a wondrous show. I place them in an
eastern exposure with regular but infrequent watering. The varieties like this
one with the green leaves are even more tender in the sun and I will plant them in a
semi-protected location even near the coast. I have not seen them damaged due to cold
weather and have watched them weather temperatures into the mid teens.
