Cistus x tardiflorens
A hybrid of two favorite Cistus species, halimifolius and atriplicifolius, this silver leaved stunner combines traits of both with silver grey fairly narrow leaves and late blooming yellow flowers with maroon spots around the center. Very drought tolerant and best for a super sunny and hot location with well draining soils.
