Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus introduction, spotted by Nathan in a botanically rich area in the Sierria Nevada above the North Fork of the American River. Found in a sea of normal, orange-red flowering plants, these, with their warm coral pink flowers, made a lovely contrast with the green-gray leaves. Hummingbirds love them. To 18" tall and spreading to make a substantial ground cover in full sun and loose, lean soil with little summer water once established. Frost hardy too 5F or so, USDA zone 7b. Onagraceae
