Himalayan species, with attractive pink stems & foliage. The lime green flowers form an interesting contrast.

Delicate soft pink shade of Helianthemum, equally as tough as other varieties. In the seventies these were fashionable, with dozens of named cultivars being available; sadly these wonderful plants have disappeared from mail order catalogues.
