Dwarf Rockroses (Halimium spp. and Helianthemum spp.) and Spotted Rockroses (Tuberaria spp.) are native of rocky, sun exposed spots on the Canary Islands and the Mediterranean region. Halimium and Helianthemum species are mostly dwarf, woody perennial subshrubs with narrow to oval, silvery shiny to bluish-green foliage and elongated, and upright growing racemes with unusually large, bright yellow flowers. Tuberaria species are either small perennials with semi-woody stems or biannuals with bright yellow flowers. All are easily grown as pot plants in any well drained, rocky soil in full sun throughout the year. Keep drier in winter in full sun at a minimum of some 10°C. Sow tiny seeds flat on any well drained, rock-sandy soil. Do not cover seeds with soil. Place pots in a preferably sunny spot. Always keep slightly moist from beneath. Transplant to larger pots after the fourth pair of leaves. 30 seeds per package. Legal note: All material descends from horticulturally propagated plants in Germany respectively Lebanon only.
