Cistus × pulverulentus ‘Sunset is an evergreen shrub featuring slightly wavy-edged, felty, gray-green leaves, bright magenta flowers and a low, spreading habit. Perfect for banks, slopes, erosion control, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and coastal xeriscaping. Makes an excellent informal low hedge or border barrier. Good for weed suppression. Best in full sun; it can tolerate light shade in hot inland areas. Adaptable to poor, rocky, sandy, or lean soils. It requires good drainage. Very low water use once established. Overwatering or poor drainage will quickly kill the plant. Fire-resistant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 15°F.
