Description

Banish the frustration brought on by pesky gaps in your beds or borders with these incredibly handy rock roses. Masses of beautiful blousy flowers emerge on these vigorous, hardy, drought tolerant and ever-so easy to grow plants.

Enjoy an assortment of colours, including orange, buttery yellow, and rose-pink flowers, each with yellow eyes, as they standout against evergreen silver-green foliage.

Ideal as groundcover plants or for growing in rockeries, gravel areas, or hot and dry borders, this Helianthemum collection makes light work of even harder to fill areas of the garden. Just a simple prune after flowering in late spring to early summer can reward you with another flush of flowers in late summer.

Supplied as a set of six plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out. Including two each of Helianthemum 'Ben Fhada', 'Ben Ledi', and 'Ben Mohr'.

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 Information
  • 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 of the previous year's growth.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
