This showy, floriferous, mat-like perennial groundcover is as beautiful as it is functional. It owes its common name (Sun Rose) to the 1” rose-like open-face bright orange flowers that blanket the plant in summer. Winner of RHS’s prestigious Award of Garden Merit, this showstopper tops out at a modest 3-6” tall but can spread slowly to 2 feet wide. It loves the sun and is surprisingly durable and drought tolerant. It also attracts bees and butterflies. No wonder it’s on the top of everybody’s groundcover list! Complementary greyish-green petite leaves form the blanket from which the flowers sprout. Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny location. It can handle poor soils but doesn’t like to be consistently wet. A great choice for an area suffering soil erosion or for a problem area that gets neglected. Be the first to surprise your gardening friends by saying “You HAVE to see my new ground cover!” Deer resistant.
