Helianthemum
nummelarium 'stoplight' - Sunrose |
| These
European rockrose relatives make a bold statement in the spring and often again in the
fall. Each flower may only last a day or two but they produce so many of them that
the plant is covered in bloom for several months. They seem to peter out in our
inland location when placed in full sun or in dark shade. They 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. I have not seen them
damaged due to cold weather and have watched them weather temperatures into the mid teens.
Gray leaved forms of Helianthemum like this one will perform well in the
inland valleys, even in full sun.
