    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A Cistus introduction, the name of which sounds good but has no particular meaning. This selection from a random planting of seedlings from which our princess was chosen. Ten-year-old plants of 12-15 ft in height but no more than 12” in width have dense, dark green foliage and absolutely no inferiority complex. Seriously, we have used this to great effect repeated in the garden, and recommend it over the very poor and disease-prone cultivar C. 'Tiny Tower.' Full sun for best effect. Very drought tolerant. Frost hardy in mid USDA zone 7.
