Plant Information
Top Tips
The abundantly produced flowers last for just a day, but are constantly replaced over a long period. Pinch faded blooms off will encourage continuous flowering.
Care Guide
- Pot up your rock rose plugs on receipt and and grow them on until large enough to plant outdoors.
- Harden off over 7 to 10 days before planting into their final positions.
- Rock roses grow best in moderately fertile soil in full sun.
- Helianthemums dislike wet ground, particularly during winter, so improve heavy soil by adding coarse grit or sharp sand before planting.
- Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established.
- Drought tolerant when established, rock roses require little maintenance.
- After flowering, prune back to within 3cm (1in) of the previous year's growth.
