 | Flower colour: pink with metallic sheen in central zone |
| Flower diameter: 4cm |
| Height & Spread: 10cm x 60cm |
| Habit: prostrate |
| Notes: leaves wavy-edged; sepals longer than petals; flowers with very short pedicels. Sticky, distinctively aromatic foliage - sickly sweet, rather cloying. Not fully hardy. |
| Variants: I have a very attractive clone with pale pink flowers (RHS Colour Chart ref. 65A/67C) from France (see below) and an upright form from Sicily. |
(N.B. The very popular cultivar 'Sunset' is often mistakenly sold as Cistus crispus 'Sunset'. It is in fact a hybrid and belongs in Cistus x pulverulentus.)
