Helianthemum Plant
English Name: RockroseType: Flowers
Helianthemum is a genus of about 110 species of evergreen or semi-evergreen subshrubs. They are widely distributed in the Americas, Europe, and from North Africa to Asia Minor and Central Asia, with the centre of diversity in the Mediterranean region.
The leaves are opposite, simple oval, 1-4 cm long and 0.5-2 cm broad, varying from glossy green to tomentose grey-green. The flowers are 2-4 cm diameter, with five petals, white or yellow, occasionally tinged pink; in some species the flowers are bicoloured with a brighter yellow centre to act as a 'target' for pollinating insects.Pests: None Deseases: None
