Cistus crispus 'Descanso' is an evergreen marvel of distinctive charm that aims to improve any domestic or coastal garden landscape.

Its notable foliage, featuring crinkly, dark green leaves, offers a robust backdrop that only pronounces the beauty of its flowering prowess. Standing tall and bold at 2-3 feet, this resilient shrub not only shores up borders and augments rock gardens but also flaunts an adaptability that ensures survival in degraded, well-drained soils, and in sun-drenched spaces. Easy to care for due to its low-water requirements, and gifted with an innate resistance to heat and drought, 'Descanso' is the perfect candidate for gardeners looking to enhance their landscape with minimal effort. The Rockrose isn’t only a feast for the eyes, but also a testament to survival and adaptability, imbuing every garden with a touch of the resplendent Mediterranean vibe.
