Helianthemum 'The Bride' – Rock Rose
A low, spreading evergreen sub-shrub with narrow, silvery grey-green leaves that set off saucer-shaped white flowers about 2.5 cm across, each with a yellow eye. The main flush comes in spring and early summer, and the evergreen silver foliage gives year-round cover.
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil that is poor to moderately fertile; it prefers neutral to alkaline conditions. It suits rockeries, gravel and coastal gardens, the front of a border, or spilling over a low wall. Cut back the flowered shoots after flowering to keep plants compact and encourage fresh growth. The flowers are visited by bees and butterflies.
Also listed as 'Snow Queen'. It holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
