Dwarf Pink Rockrose
Cistus x skanbergii (Dwarf Pink Rockrose) is a compact, bushy evergreen shrub with masses of clear pale pink, saucer-shaped flowers, 1 in. across (3 cm), adorned with bright golden-yellow stamens at their heart. While smaller than most Rockroses, the blossoms are so abundant that they literally cover the shrub from late spring to mid-summer. The flowers are borne atop a compact mound of narrow, soft gray-green leaves. A beautiful and compact Rockrose for sunny shrub borders or containers.
