Cistus skanbergii | Pink Ice
Regular price$15.00
Tax included.
Cistus skanbergii, also known as Dwarf Pink Rockrose is a bushy evergreen shrub that is compact and when in flower. It has masses of clear, pretty pale pink, saucer shaped flowers that are about 3cm in diameter and have bright golden yellow stamens at their centre.
This variety is smaller than our other Rockrose but the beautiful flowers are so profuse that they literally cover the shrub from late spring and into mid-summer.
The flowers sit atop the compact mound of soft grey-green foliage and this lovely variety is a wonderful choice for sunny shrub borders and pots.
Easily grown, this plant will perform to its best in a well-drained position in full sun and also makes a great choice for gardens that get no watering - great for coastal gardens and those with poor soils. Thrives in hot dry locations. Loved by bees and butterflies.
Also, a wonderful choice for banks, slopes as well as cottage gardens, city gardens as well as gravel and rock gardens - a great all-round little shrub that is also virtually pest and disease free. After flowering, cut it back in late summer to encourage re-blooming in autumn.
Height approximately 50cm x spreading to about 1m or more.
Perennial | Hardy to minus 12 degrees Celsius
Plant size PB2 | Equivalent 1.2 litres
