    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A Cistus introduction, but given to us by plantsman Mike Remmick of a plant he selected and has grown in McMinnville Oregon for many years. Upright in habit with luxurious red-purple stems and fluted leaves making an imbricate pattern with the typical culinary flavor and aroma. Expect 20-25' but easily trimmed and excellent for a container. Sun to part shade in upper USDA zone 7, prefers good drainage and able to withstand summer drought.
