A Cistus introduction. A seedling of a very useful Asian Oregon grape with an upright form to 4' occasionally to 6' .

This "brand” has particularly long, narrow, graceful leaves, slightly twisted to form a most attractive pattern and texture. Full sun to dappled shade with summer water in dry climates. Mildew can occur on plants in shade that is too dense. Frost hardy to upper USDA zone 7 to low zone 8.
