Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A merlot-colored triangular brush stroke boldly brands each overlapping tissuelike petal, etching a distinctive 5-pointed star with a pronounced golden center. Large blossoms, spanning 3 snowy white in. across, are cupped, rimpled and renown for their long lasting flowery pomp. Named after a private English garden and parented by Cistus ladnifer and Cistus inflatus, 'Jenkyn Place's small vigorous frame blends shapely red-tinged green stems and narrow sticky, pucker-edged deep green leaves that smell spicy and taper toward their tips.
This rockrose is spectacular in May when it's covered with large white flowers with crimson basal blotches. An evergreen upright shrub to 4 ft tall and 3 ft wide with narrow leaves that are resiny and quite fragrant when crushed. Sun and summer drought tolerant. Hardy to 5 °F.
Large grower. Huge stark white flowers with bright yellow center.
