Cistus Silver Pink 2Ltr

Position: full sun
Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil
Rate of growth: average
Flowering period: June to July
Hardiness: frost hardy (needs winter protection)

Cistus originate from dry, rocky parts of the Mediterranean and Canary Islands, and so are drought-tolerant and low maintenance. They produce masses of flowers in midsummer, but each lasts only one day. ‘Silver Pink’ is particularly free flowering, and forms a neat mound, with a profusion of delicate, papery, silvery-pink flowers, fading to almost white in the centre, during June and July. Try it at the front of a sunny, well-drained border or in large patio container.
