Cistus Sunset Details

The Cistus Sunset plant, commonly known as Rock Rose, is grown for its hardy nature and pretty flowers. This evergreen shrub produces single, rose-pink flowers with a yellow centre.

It typically grows to 70 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of coastal conditions, moderate frost, and extended dry periods though should be protected while it is establishing.
