Wonderful growth. Still blooming into November.
"I'm actually zone 4b, and this plant has done wonderfully. In just two, full growing seasons, it has spread to three feet wide. It has a flush of blossoms in spring, goes flower dormant for a month, then starts back up again with a flourish. It is now November 8, just a few nights of 28-30 degrees, and it STILL is covered in blossoms. It is in amended clay soil with a mulch cover. It gets watered deeply with the grass about every 7-10 days."

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."

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."
Stunning bi-colored pink and dark pink flowers make 'Ben Ledi' a standout evergreen groundcover. The plant has glossy, deep green foliage and blooms in late spring-early summer. Low fertility, well drained soil. Cannot tolerate foot traffic.
Planting & Care
Helianthemum (Rock Rose or Sunrose) are a showy genus of evergreen perennials native to the Old World (Europe and western Asia).
Preferred growing conditions:
Plant in infertile (lean), fast-draining soils. They particularly like alkaline limestone soils. Not suitable for clay soils.Â
Enjoys full sun to partial shade exposure.
Water transplants regularly for the first growing season and provide drier conditions once established.
Helianthemum are profuse bloomers that don't require deadheading.
Fertilize lightly in the fall with a half and half mix of Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost applied as a top dressing around the plant.
Special Comments:
Helianthemum do best with afternoon shade in the western US to protect the evergreen foliage from being scorched by bright winter sun.
In winter, cover with evergreen boughs to provide shade and protection from drying winter winds.
Shear lightly after flowering is finished to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy habit.
