How to care for Helianthemum Cerise Queen:
Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot, adding grit if needed, and water until established. Once settled they require lower maintenence, only occasional water in long dry spells and a light, granular-based fertiliser feed in spring. After flowering in summer, lightly trim stems to keep the plant neat and bushy, but avoid cutting into old woody growth which won’t regenerate.
Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
