Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A Cistus introduction. Visitors to our gardens seem always to be drawn to this hardy deciduous shrub. Deep indigo bells, like miniature Brugmansia flowers, cover it in summer. Sun to part shade with regular water, this fast grower can reach 6 ft or more but is easily pruned to shape in spring. Be the first on your block... USDA zone 8.
