Description

The perfect flowering shrub for a dry, sunny spot! Cistus x purpureus from soft, bushy mounds of narrow, evergreen foliage that is smothered in pink flowers throughout summer. The saucer-shaped, papery blooms measure around 8cm across with hot pink petals marked with maroon blotches at the base drawing the eye into the central ring of golden anthers. Although the blooms only last a day, they are produced in such abundance that this popular shrub provides a big splash of colour throughout June and July. This unfussy plant copes brilliantly with poor soil, drought and coastal conditions providing you reward it with a warm, sheltered spot. Like other Mediterranean shrubs, it makes a good choice for smaller gardens and courtyards rewarding with the perfect combination of showy flowers plus evergreen interest throughout the year. Height and spread: 1m (3.2ft).

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.
