Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Oh yeah. THAT'S what I'm talking about. LOVE the color of these flowers... Rich, dark, saturated red that just glows on bright sunny early summer days. I'm always more than a little sad when they finish blooming, but the dark glossy evergreen foliage carries on looking beautiful the rest of the year. Spreading shrublet less than a foot tall. Zone 5.
Glossy dark green leaves and magenta blossoms.
Helianthemum nummularium Dazzler MAGENTA SUNROSE
Deep ruby-red to burgundy-red with showy tuft of yellow stamens in the center. Green foliage on mounding plants 1' tall x 2' wide.
