Sunrose
Helianthemum ‘Cheviot’
CISTACEAE, The Rockrose family
Yes, sunrose has been the plant of the day before, twice, but it’s too luscious. It’s that time of year again: the walls and rockeries of gardeners-in-the-know drip with the sublime contrast of the Chinese red blooms and the soft sage leaves of ‘Henfield’s Brilliant’.
On my bike route home from work there is a nice terrace with blue grasses, a little olive tree, too many euphorbias and big patches of a peach-flowered, blue-green leaved sunrose called ‘Cheviot’.
