Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus introduction with yellow-orange flowers marked with red veins, the bells turned in at the bottom -- handsome against the large, maple-shaped leaves. A bit less frost hardy than some abutilons, so sun to part shade with lots of summer water and fertilizer but in a protected spot, near a warm structure or in the bright understory wherever temperatures often drop into the low 20s, upper teens °F. Mulch of course for more winter protection or take cuttings for insurance. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 8.
