Cistus 'Little Miss Sunshine' (White)

Cistus ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ | Rockrose (White)

Cistus ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its profusion of bright white, crepe-paper blooms, each accented with sunny yellow stamens. The variegated green-and-gold foliage provides year-round color, making it as attractive out of bloom as it is in flower. Exceptionally low-maintenance, heat-tolerant, and drought-resistant, this rockrose is perfect for borders, slopes, and coastal gardens. It also draws butterflies, adding beauty and life to the landscape.
