Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus introduction. This form from near the mountains of the Pistol River is a picturesque seastack. Has particularly whitish blue rosettes with large-stem leaves giving the appearance of the flowers being stacked beneath its spring yellow flowers. Evergreen sedum, native in Oregon's coastal range, with small rosettes of somewhat flat, gray-green leaves on long stems, suitable for draping over stone walls or the sides of containers or as a ground cover in sunny spots that drain well and remain dry in summer. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
