Description

Similar to the popular rock rose, this low-growing shrubby perennial has small, rosemary-like leaves and delicate saucer-shaped yellow flowers, adding a subtle lemon hue to planting schemes.

An attractive evergreen that will thrive in a sunny spot, this Mediterranean native will excel in gravel gardens and in pots on a sun-baked patio. Perfect when combined with lavenders and other drought tolerant plants, it makes an exciting addition to your garden.

Compact and ideal when grown in containers, plants will reach just 50cm x 50cm, so won't overrun your garden.

Flowering from May to August, we supply an established plant in a 2L pot, approx. 20-25cm tall (inc. pot) ready for planting out.

Top Tips
For best flowers, plants prefer long, hot summers so place where it will get maximum sunlight.
Care Information

Planting Advice for Halimium ‘April Sun’:

  • Best grown in sandy soil in full sun
  • Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill once the shrub is in place.
  • Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
  • Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot and refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.
  • Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
  • If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
  • Use the best compost you can buy and some sand or grit for drainage.

Aftercare:

  • Hardy down to -10C, it will shrug off all but the harshest of winter conditions, where it will need some protection from cold and wet weather.
  • After flowering, pinch back young plant to encourage a bushy habit.

Pruning:

  • Prune mid- to late spring to improve flowering and prevent them from becoming too woody.
  • Prune lightly, just removing unsightly shoots as required. This plant should never be pruned hard.
