Does anyone know where to get Raspberry Ripple Rock Rose Helianthemum

My red colored Rock Rose which I think was Ben Ledi died. I loved it but wanted to get something more pink. Ben Ledi is described as bi-color pink and dark pink but the plant I had in my garden looked red to me.

This is the only zone 5 Helainthemum I can find. If I had Ben Ledi before I don't want to get it again as it was too red.

I love the color of Raspberry Ripple and it is the right zone but so far cannot find it for sale on-line. Does anyone know where it can be gotten?

Now it could be that mine was something like Red Dragon.

If that is the case then Ben Ledi might be just the right color.

Thoughts on whether this is Ben Ledi or something else?

A few more pictures to show it in different lights.

Genius! Thank you!

Edit: Drat they want a $60 minimum order. Looking to see if they have other things I want. If anyone else has an on-line source let me know. Even a light pink that was good for zone 5 would work.

I have some rock rose, but yeah, mine is more of a red color. That one is very pretty. You might try calling Harlequin Gardens in Boulder. They have a lot of xeriscape and specialty plants. And if you've never been there, it's a really cute/rustic place.

Popmama,

Do you know if yours is the Ben Ledi? I am tempted to get it and hope for pink because they have so many of the ice plants I wanted to try and a pink phlox that I want. The other place doesn't have anything else I want to order.

Sorry I am not sure which variety it is. I just went out to look to see if there was still a tag, but it looks like it's gone. I know it's a darker red than the one in your picture or Ben Ledi. I can see why you like the pink. The red flowers sort of get lost in the foliage. When it blooms, I can take a picture.

I found this one which I can order with no minimum. Belgravia Rose Heliamthemum. I wish they offered more of what I want to order this year to make the shipping worthwhile.
