<i>Helianthemum nummularium</i> ‘Wisley Pink’ | Wisley Pink Rock Rose
DESCRIPTION
Helianthemum nummularium 'Wisley Pink', commonly known as Wisley Pink Rock Rose, is a delightful perennial that produces soft pink, saucer-shaped flowers with a golden-yellow center. Blooming profusely from late spring through mid-summer, the flowers create a charming carpet of color, especially when planted en masse in rock gardens, borders, or on slopes. Each individual bloom lasts for just a day, but the plant blooms continuously for several weeks, maintaining a vibrant display.
This cultivar is derived from the species Helianthemum nummularium, which is native to Europe. 'Wisley Pink' was selected for its delicate pink flowers and attractive, gray-green foliage, which adds a soft, evergreen presence to the garden. Its compact growth habit, combined with the long-lasting flower display, makes it an excellent choice for sunny, well-drained locations where it can thrive with minimal maintenance.
