$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Helianthemum 'Henfield Brilliant' is a low-growing perennial native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, prized for its profusion of deep orange-red, saucer-shaped flowers with yellow centers. Blooming abundantly in late spring to early summer, each flower lasts just one day but is quickly replaced, ensuring a long-lasting display. This plant thrives in poor, rocky soils, full sun, and slightly alkaline soil, making it ideal for rock gardens and challenging planting sites. Its dense mat of grey-green, evergreen foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the vibrant blooms. 'Henfield Brilliant' is drought-tolerant, requires little maintenance, and is attractive to bees and butterflies while being deer-resistant, adding value to pollinator and deer-prone gardens.
