Cistus Silver Pink

Cistus Silver Pink Details

Cistus Silver Pink, commonly known as Rock Rose, is grown for its pretty flowers which have a paper like appearance. It bears masses of bright pink flowers which gradually age to light pink. While the flowers dont last long, they are produced en masse from spring through summer above the green-grey foliage. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, though it is tolerant of coastal conditions, moderate frost, and extended dry periods. Silver Pink is commonly used to add interest and texture to the garden. Cistus argenteus Silver Pink is great for including in a mixed planting, planting as a backdrop for smaller plants, growing around outdoor living areas such as pools and the like, including in cottage gardens, or for using in the drier parts of the garden.
