"arrived super healthy, making for almost stress free planting"
Pretty pink flowers.
"Have yet to get this planted in the area I have planned for, which is a sunny location of a small rock type garden where I used to have a small pond and waterfall. I have most of the area covered in other flowering ground covers and this plant will just add a little more color to what is developing. At 82y it was getting a little too hard to maintain the pond and waterfall, a bird bath is having to be the substitute."
Really enjoy the neat, tidy habit of this plant.
"Love the neat, tidy mounding of this plant. And the flowers just kept coming for more than a month! I have heavy clay soil, plus partial shade, though it does get heat from the road. It still did quite well. We're Zone 4 but the location near some trees probably has a microclimate of Zone 5."

"Plants arrived healthy. They are doing well."
My favorite Spring Blooming Flowers
"This is my favorite spring blooming flower. It makes my garden beds stand out and it makes my dry creek bed look amazing. Mine only live about 6-8 years, but so worth the money. At 7000 ft elevation they bloom a few weeks at the end of May to early June."
Fingers crossed
"I ordered 6 last year to plant in flower bed front of my barn and wanted an evergreen that would fill in bed over time. When they arrived four did look dormant, but two looked dead. I have ordered literally 100s of plants from HCG so I can tell by now. These were smashed, roots dry as toast. The dormant plant leaves can sometimes look dry or dead but roots still have pliability and will still be moist. I contacted customer service to see if I could get replacements since they needed to all match because in one bed and they were sold out, and a different plant was offered but would not help, bc this bed was going to be all rock roses. They told me to plant because they do often come back to life so I did and they never grew with watering and patience so they were dead. So the bed has missing spots and I decided to wait and hopefully I can buy replacements this spring, but they still say ""out of stock"". I contacted customer service this week about ordering and was told they would not be available until next season and to check back in the summer?! The ones that were not dead have nice dark green foliage in winter, survived a hard winter, and are already growing and thriving. I'm hopeful to see flowers on them this season."
Success in N CA 3500 elevation and wet winters
"Ben Ledi helianthemum is a beautiful plant for the front of the border. Hardy as is others of the species in my area. Unfortunately for me some other HCG selections not so well. I suppose our winters too long, wet, and cold. I repeatedly tried Agastache including Blue Blazes with no luck. Same with the salvias. However Agastache ""Desert Sunrise,"" is a lovely survivor. Sun drops and Purple sages both do great in my zone."
Beautiful ground cover
"These guys are troopers, gently spreading to cover the area under a small tree. They stand up to the dog occasionally running through. A quick deadheading keeps the blooms coming. After the tree they sit under drops it's leaves, they provide color all year with their dark green foliage."
Didn't Do Well
"I love ""Sun Roses"" and have grown many in the past. This didn't thrive and it did not flower. I've never had that happen before. None of my plants flowered, regardless of the variety."
