Cultivation Details:
Requires a very sunny position[11] and a calcareous soil[200]. This species is also likely to require a very well-drained light or medium soil[K].
The cliffrose is not very hardy in Britain, it is unlikely to succeed outdoors in any but the mildest areas of the country and will probably require the protection of a sunny wall even there[11, 200, K].
The flowers are resinous and strongly fragrant[229].
