Rock Rose (Cistus spp.)

Rock rose (Cistus spp.) is a 3' to 5' tall blooming shrub. It tolerates heat, drought, and poor soils, but mine do best with some afternoon shade and supplemental water in the summertime.

My neighbor gave me some rock rose seeds 20+ years ago, and they're still reseeding themselves all these years later! So pretty!
