Helianthemum ‘Pink Sunrose’

Common Name:
Pink Sunrose

Description:
Helianthemum ‘Pink Sunrose’ is a charming, mat-forming evergreen ground cover celebrated for its soft, papery pink flowers and silvery-grey foliage. A classic choice for dry, sunny Melbourne gardens, this variety produces a profusion of blooms during late spring and early summer, each flower opening in the morning and closing by dusk. Though individual flowers last only a day, the sheer quantity creates a vibrant and lasting display. The foliage remains dense and attractive year-round, offering structure and contrast even outside the flowering season. Ideal for rockeries, slopes, gravel gardens, retaining walls, and the front of mixed borders, ‘Pink Sunrose’ thrives in full sun and free-draining soils. It’s drought-hardy once established and requires little maintenance beyond a light trim after flowering to keep it compact and vigorous. Its neat, spreading form and subtle colouring make it a gentle yet effective garden highlight.
