Cistus x hybridus ‘Mickie’
'Mickie' rock rose forms a mound of gold and green evergreen foliage topped with white flowers in early summer.
This stable variegated form of Cistus x hybridus has gold foliage with green centres. It has a low, mounding habit that hugs the ground and creates a super colourful, evergreen accent. Charming white flowers punctuate the flashy foliage in May and June. ‘Mickie’ hails from northern Washington State and has survived some brutal winters.
