    This striking Cistus cultivar is a real stand out for the garden. Covered in golden yellow and lime green variegated leaves with wavy edges. In late spring to summer, white flowers appear adding to the display. Grow in full sun and even with a bit of afternoon shade in hottest summer situations. Drought tolerant once established, though an occasional deep watering on a cool summer day would be beneficial. Approx 3-4ft high x 3-4ft wide. USDA zone 8.
