Cistus × skanbergii is an evergreen shrub featuring aromatic, slender, silver-grey to gray-green leaves and pastel pink flowers. Perfect for groundcover, banks, slopes, rock gardens, low-hedge, mixed borders. Good weed suppression. It requires full sun for maximum bloom; tolerates partial shade, but will be leggy and open, not dense. Thrives in poor, sandy, rocky, and well-drained soils. Low to very low water use once established. Virtually disease and pest-free. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant if maintained. Cold hardy to 10°F.
