Cistus " Sunset" 35 cm
Description:
No other flowering shrub will tolerate such tough dry conditions yet continue to produce blossom for so long and with such impact.
Cistus requires a hot dry location away from the wet and cold damaging winds if it to live out its short life to best effect; it despises wet heavy soils - but will flourish on poor well drained soils, especially chalky soils.
Prune dead wood in spring - avoid heavy pruning - preferring to trim to shape. Ideal planted alone or in drifts on hot sunny bank.
