Cistus ladanifer is an evergreen shrub featuring white flowers with deep red blotches and narrow, lance-shaped, resinous, highly-fragrant leaves. Great for mass planting, erosion control on dry banks, hedges, and screens. Requires full sun for the best bloom production and dense habit. It adapts to nearly all soils (acidic, alkaline, clay, rocky, or sandy) provided they are sharply draining. Prefers lean, unimproved soils over heavy fertilizers. Very low water use. Drought-resistant once established and requires no summer water in established landscapes. Fire-resistant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Virtually insect and disease free. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 15°F.
