Plant description
Mounds of wavy-margined, evergreen leaves are accompanied by yellow-centred, papery white flowers, which emerge from crimson buds in June to July. This wonderful, bushy rock rose is one of the hardiest compact varieties. It is ideal for a large patio container or a sunny, shrub border, but it does require protection from harsh winds.
