Cistus salvifolius 'Prostratus' - Sageleaf Rockrose, Prostrate Rockrose

Market price from $5.35 to $19.75

Cistus salvifolius 'Prostratus' is a remarkable evergreen addition to the landscape, better known as the Sageleaf or Prostrate Rockrose. This hardy, Mediterranean native's beauty lies in its striking contrast between its robust, sage-green wrinkled foliage and the large, papery white flowers that blissfully bloom from late spring to early summer. Spanning up to a 6-foot spread and growing up to 2-3 feet in height, its low-lying and spreading nature makes it an eccentric fit for rock gardens, idyllic borders, coastal gardens, or as a potent guard against soil erosion on slopes. Adaptable and resilient, the Sageleaf Rockrose takes pride in its drought tolerance once it's established, effectively saving you water and maintenance effort. Preferring full sun to light shade, it flourishes in well-drained soil, ensuring it stays vibrant throughout the year. Enhance your garden's ecology with the Sageleaf Rockrose - its captivating fragrance and breathtaking blooms are a magnet for pollinators. It not only showcases your garden's aesthetic qualities but also contributes to its ecological value. With all these sterling features, no wonder it's called the Hardy Gem of the Mediterranean.
