Halimium lasianthum, the Lisbon false sun-rose or woolly rock rose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cistaceae, native to the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, western Spain and southwestern France) and Northwest Africa (Morocco).[1] It is a spreading evergreen shrub growing to 1 m (3 ft) tall by 1.5 m (5 ft) wide, with grey-green leaves and bright yellow flowers in spring. The flowers may have a maroon blotch at the base of each petal.[2][3]

In cultivation this plant requires a sandy soil and full sun.[4]
