Beautiful bush with dark green foliage that is the backdrop to a multitude of white flowers, with a brown spot at the base of each petal. Ideal in rock gardens and Mediterranean gardens, with low water requirements and low maintenance. It grows approximately 1 m tall and large; like most of the species of this genus, this cistus has developed evolutionary adaptations that make it suitable for Mediterranean environments: the loss of leaves and the entry into a period of quiescence in summer, a behavior that facilitates the overcoming of long periods of drought summer. The name of the species derives from the presence on the leaves of a sticky, aromatic resin, actually also produced by many other species of cysts, used since ancient times to produce perfumes and in folk medicine. The Cistus genus is much loved in the United Kingdom, where it is popularly known as '' Rock rose '', and appreciated for its rusticity and adaptability, as well as for its aesthetic qualities.
