Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus collection from near Ione, California, this large, rounded shrub, to 6' tall, has rich, gray-green leaves -- undoubtedly has a wee bit of A. manzanita blood -- and nearly white flowers in winter and early spring. A wonderfully statuesque form with the typical warm red, flaking bark of the species. For the summer dry garden where there is ample sunshine and good drainage. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
