PLANTS OF PURPLE FLOWERED ROCK ROSE - CISTUS X PURPUREUS
This precious rockrose is a hybrid between Cistus Creticus x Cistus Ladanifer. Highly valued for its ornamental character that cannot be missing in your Mediterranean garden for its spectacular purple-pink flowers with spots!
Small perennial shrub, about 100-125 cm. With showy large abundant flowers, mauve-pink with purple-red spots. Narrow, lanceolate dark green leaves. It grows in the form of a dense, rounded and very vigorous bush.
Dig a hole that is at least twice as wide and deep as the plant's root ball. Crumble and remove the soil effectively: this will facilitate rooting. Remove the plant from the container and carefully cut the roots that have been broken by slightly loosening the root ball. Mix the soil removed with substrate and fill part of the hole with this mixture. Place the plant in the hole, cover it with the rest of the mixture and compact the soil around the root ball, treading it carefully. Water abundantly.
