Cistus x purpureus ‘Alan Fradd’

These lovely, drought tolerant, evergreen shrubs are somewhat underused in gardens. They offer attractive foliage and lots of large, beautiful flowers resembling a single rose in shades of pink or white. The petals are like crepe paper, thin and crinkled. This cultivar has pure white flowers with a burgundy spot at the base of each of the five petals.
