Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus introduction. This, the largest we've grown of the species, with possible parentage of O. macro. Each stem to about 6" making 18" x ...well, infinite, as it clumps and spills. It's not very well coordinated. Butter yellow flowers in spring, sometimes again in summer, followed by semi-fleshy red fruit. Say that 5 times fast! Full sun to light dappled shade and decent drainage. USDA zone 4.
