Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus introduction. This, one of our newest hybrids, to 8-10' pyramidal in form, with leaves up to 6" long by only 1/2" wide or less, falling gracefully from the whorled branches and producing clouds of pale yellow flowers in spring and occasionally later. Indeed, a dreamy plant. Can be kept as a shrub or pruned into a small tree and encouraged to grow to 10-12'. Full sun to dappled shade with occasional summer water. A very pretty evergreen. USDA zone 7.
