Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Created and named by British Cistus aficionado, Eric Sammons, this Cistus 'Little Gem' and Cistus laurifolius cross celebrates not only showy blooms but a low comely mound, which responds well to pruning. The gold-centered, 2-_ in. white papery flowers are engraved with striking, nearly triangular burgundy marks at each petal's base, while gracing long, matt-finished, dark green slender leaves and somewhat lax, wine-infused stems. Full of vigor, 'Jessamy Beauty' merits her name especially when set against Melianthus 'Antonow's Blue's large blue-tinged foliage.
