Common Name: Rock Rose
Latin Name: Cistus x argentus ‘Silvery Pink’
Soil: Fertile, moist, well-drained soil
Position: Full sun
Flowering period/colour: June-July/ pink
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Eventual height/spread: 0.8m / 1m
Special features: Pretty pale pink flowers in spring that fade to white at the base.
The ‘Silvery Pink’ is a delightful little shrub which features pretty pale pink flowers that fade to white at the base. The flowers have a crumpled appearance and have the unusual trait of only lasting for a single day per flower, but they are borne in such abundance that the shrub is in flower from June to July. The dark green, lance-shaped leaves are evergreen, so they hold on the shrub all year round. This is a great choice for planting as a low-maintenance shrub in a bed and it works well as part of a Mediterranean planting scheme.
