    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A Cistus introduction. This probable A. simsii hybrid grows to 18" tall, or so, with compact, 4" rosettes of purple foliage with a bluish cast. Dappled shade to full sun for best coloring. Winter water is preferred so allow to go a bit dormant where summer temperatures are a bit hot. These make particularly good container specimens or garden plants where temperatures do not fall below 25F, USDA zone 9b.
