sunrose
Low spreading ground cover
Sunrose is a low-growing flowering plant of the genus *Helianthemum*, native to rocky or sandy Mediterranean climates.
The flowers, which bloom in bright yellows, pinks, oranges, and whites, open in sunlight and close in shade or overcast weather—hence the name.
Sunroses are drought-tolerant and popular in rock gardens: The sunroses spread across the gravel path.
