Cistus obtusifolius (Rock Rose) 'Thrive'
This hardy evergreen shrub brings Mediterranean charm to gardens with its profusion of pure white flowers featuring golden yellow centres that bloom throughout summer. The crinkled, dark green leaves form a dense, bushy mound that remains attractive year round. Exceptionally drought tolerant once established, it thrives in hot, sunny spots with poor, well drained soils, making it ideal for gravel gardens or coastal plantings. The flowers attract pollinators while the plant resists deer and rabbits. A low maintenance choice for adding long lasting summer colour to dry borders or rockeries, requiring minimal care once settled in its location. Perfect for gardeners seeking resilient, water wise plants with seasonal impact.
