DESCRIPTION

The ‘Cistus Skanbergii’ or ‘Dwarf Pink Rockrose’ is a flowering evergreen shrub with a bushy, dense, and compact habit. Masses of 1” pale pink flowers with bright yellow stamens cover this shrub when they bloom in abundance from late spring to mid-summer. Muted, grayish-green, narrow leaves grow in a compact mound and remain lush year-round, providing unique color and texture from fall through winter and serving as a lovely backdrop for the profusion of pink blooms come springtime. Easy to grow in virtually any sunny location, the ‘Dwarf Pink Rockrose’ is great in mixed-shrub borders, planted in mass for hedging or groundcover, or used in sunny garden borders or containers.
