Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A 2020 Cistus Nursery introduction. This low drama western ground cover to only about 8-10" in height and slowly spreading into generous clumps. The semi-evergreen leaves emerge a bright spring green, slowly darkening giving a nice velvet effect. The flowers, white in mid to late spring, nodding in the slightest breeze and looking very much like an inverted parasol from which the common name comes. This attractive selection from redwood forest in Curry Co. Oregon is hardy into USDA zone 7. Able to withstand summer drought, useful at the base of shrubs or (giant trees) in dappled shade.
