Sageleaf Rock Rose

Sageleaf Rock Rose

The Sageleaf Rock Rose has everything we love about rock roses in a prostrate growing form! Makes for a perfect evergreen, drought tolerant ground cover. Cistus species are particularly good at making dense mounds that suppress weeds and this one is no exception. Grows to only about a foot tall but spreading to 5-6′ wide, it’s a great choice to cover ground in any Mediterranean planting. Place it beneath young figs, olives or grapes for the perfect drought tolerant companion plant.
