Cistus halimifolius
A lesser seen Cistus species with a resemblance to the closely related Halimium genus. We love this one for its tight habit and beautiful silvery evergreen leaves. In spring spotted yellow flowers add a nice splash of color. Drought tolerant and easy to grow in full sun with very good drainage.
