Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus introduction. This pyramidal living sculpture with particular tiny leaves with strongly weeping form was selected on an excursion to southern tip of New Zealand south island. Another treasure from the southern hemisphere, this species has grown to a narrow 10-12' in our garden -- though it can get a bit taller. Unusual to find a woody member of this family. They are generally evergreen and have starched white flowers in summer held in clusters among the under 1" leaves. Prefers partial to full sun, consistent moisture and good drainage, with cool soil. So an excellent coastal plant. Careful in the southeast. Hardy to 15 °F possibly 10 °F. Malvaceae
