Helianthemum Vulgare Var. Fontanesii

Helianthemum vulgare var. fontanesii is a lesser-known but striking member of the rockrose family known for its vibrant yellow flowers. Native to the mountainous regions of southern Europe, this plant thrives in rocky and well-drained soils. Its compact growth habit and drought tolerance make it an ideal choice for xeriscaping and rock gardens. The variety fontanesii is distinguished by its dense foliage and showy blooms that attract pollinators. Despite its beauty, it remains underappreciated in horticultural circles compared to its more famous relatives.
