Cistus salvifolius is a small shrub with highly branched foliage, a dense spreading habit, and small, rough, dark gray-green evergreen leaves.
It features a spectacular flowering period lasting over two months throughout the summer.
Very drought-tolerant, this rockrose is hardy down to about -10 to -12 °C, provided it is planted in well-drained soil and full sun.
The leaves are light green, wrinkled, rough, and velvety to the touch. They are very reminiscent of sage leaves so can be planted alongside the yellow striped sage or a purple sage to bring height and texture to a sage corner.
The flowers are large and ivory white, highlighted by bright gold stamens.
The root system is both deep and branched. It is so powerful that it can penetrate fractured rocks to extract even the slightest trace of moisture deep underground - making it one of the most drought tolerant plants of the Mediterranean region.
Cistus is a genus of evergreen shrubs native to the Mediterranean region and the Canary Islands. They’re valued for their resilience to drought, sun-loving nature, and beautiful, papery flowers that bloom in spring and early summer.
Highly fragrant, the blooms attract butterflies.
Though each flower lasts only a day, their abundance and continuous renewal create a spectacular floral display for several weeks.
