Description

Cistus albidus 'Snowflake' is a delightful evergreen shrub that adds a touch of Mediterranean elegance to sunny garden areas. This compact plant is particularly admired for its striking white flowers, which feature a unique, crinkled texture that enhances their visual appeal. Blooming from early to mid-summer, these large, papery blossoms create a stunning display, even though each flower has a brief lifespan. The continuous succession of blooms ensures that the garden remains vibrant and lively throughout the season, making it a favorite among garden enthusiasts.

In addition to its beautiful flowers, 'Snowflake' boasts silvery-grey, felted leaves that provide year-round interest. The contrast between the shimmering foliage and the bright white blooms creates a captivating visual effect, enhancing the overall charm of the plant. Its compact, bushy growth habit makes it an excellent choice for various garden settings, including borders, rock gardens, and coastal landscapes. This versatility allows it to fit seamlessly into different design schemes while adding texture and color.

Cistus albidus 'Snowflake' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, demonstrating remarkable drought tolerance once established. It is well-suited for poor, sandy soils and can withstand salt-laden winds, making it ideal for exposed coastal sites. Minimal maintenance is required, with just a light trim after flowering to keep its shape intact. Hardy in many milder regions of the UK, it may need some protection during severe frost or prolonged cold spells. Additionally, this charming shrub attracts pollinators like bees, contributing to a vibrant and lively garden ecosystem. Height: 80 cm (2.6 ft) Spread: 100 cm (3.3 ft).

How to Grow
Plant Cistus into borders and containers outdoors in any well drained soil in full sun with shelter from cold winds. They will happily grow in poor soils. When growing Cistus in containers use a soil based compost.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Feed and water Cistus plants regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established. Pinch back young plants after flowering to encourage a bushy habit. Once established, rock rose plants require only occasional attention. Pruning Cistus is best undertaken in mid-spring when temperatures have started to rise. Start by removing any damaged, diseased or misplaced shoots and if needed, lightly trim shoots to maintain a good shape. Avoid hard pruning as Cistus plants will not regenerate from old wood.
