Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus introduction found in the "wilds" of Davis California... Actually making a beer run at 11pm, and whilst darting across traffic, found this growing in a mixed planting of seedlings.. The unusual trait, coming into full flower in May rather than July as usual. Ample silver-grey foliage under a foot in height, large deep orange flowers over a very long season. USDA zone 6.
