Rock Rose Seeds - Flower Plant

Rock rose seeds produce hardy, evergreen shrubs with a low to medium, bushy growth habit and small, textured leaves. These plants are well adapted to warm, dry climates and thrive in poor, well-drained soils. Rock rose performs best in full sunlight with minimal watering once established. Suitable for rock gardens, borders, and xeriscaping, it establishes steadily and provides seasonal blooms with very low maintenance.
