Helianthemum Fire Dragon is a considered choice for borders, containers or as an evergreen ground cover. As it flowers with such vibrancy, the blooms prove a magnet for bees and other pollinators early in the season. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
