Cistus
‘Snow White’
at Digging Dog
Rockrose
This genus from the Mediterranean region fortunately grows exceptionally well in our mild climate. These evergreens are called Rockroses for their conspicuous single papery blooms, resembling wild rose blossoms. Though these last only a day, they arrive in such profusion, carpeting the ground beneath, that one can count on color for 2 or 3 months.
Fast growing and appreciative of well drained sites, they tolerate drought, poor soil, ocean winds, salt
spray and even desert heat. Cistus vary from low spreaders to tall, imposing bushes, and are terrific for informal hedging and screens. Cistus ‘Snow White’ 
The name ‘Snow White’ surely refers to the multitude of orange-centered, papery white flowers that embellish this choice mounding Cistus. Perhaps even more noticeable are the large, intricately-winged buds. Deep red in color, and covered with a downy fuzz, they nearly obscure the
bright green, undulating foliage for most of the season, adding to its soft, alluring appearance.
Blooms April–August. Size: 6' high x 8' wide; hardy to zone 8. AVAILABLE MAY 2008 Cistus Snow White (S-0401)
