How to keep Helianthemum Grandiflorum.
Light
Rock-rose is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant that comes from open habitats and commonly thrives in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
Fertilizer
The best time to fertilize a Rock-rose is in early spring, when it is coming out of dormancy and beginning active growth. Fertilization supplies essential nutrients for healthy growth. Although Rock-rose has relatively low fertilization needs, applying fertilizer once a year can improve its survival and encourage better, longer-lasting flowers.
