Insights
The low spreading, evergreen rock rose is both drought and salt tolerant, so is ideal for dry garden areas. Plant in sheltered full sun for the best position, or in a container on a sunny terrace. Cistus × pulverulentus Sunset is a recipient of RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
