Common Name: Rock Rose
Latin Name: Cistus x purpureus 'Alan Fradd'
Soil: Fertile, moist, well-drained soil
Position: Full sun
Flowering period/colour: June-July/White with red splashes
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Eventual height/spread: 0.6m/1m
Special features: Soft and delicate white flowers that have maroon splashes.
The 'Alan Fradd' features the most unusual flowers that have the unusual trait of only lasting for a single day per flower: even so, this rock rose produces so many buds that flowers are on the shrub from June to July. The petals of the flowers are crumpled and are pure white with small maroon splashes at the base of each petal. The slender, pointed leaves are dark green and hold on the shrub all year round (evergreen). This is a great choice for groundcover planting and it is tolerant on many situations including drought, chalky soil and salt-laden air.
