About This Plant
Cistus maculatus (Spotted Whit Rockrose), 'Spotted Whit Rockrose', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Rockroses (Cistus) are Mediterranean evergreens with crinkled tissue-paper flowers in pink, white, or yellow that bloom for weeks in summer. Outstanding drought-tolerant shrubs for sunny, well-drained sites.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained, lean, slightly alkaline soil. Hardy USDA Zone 8 to 10. Drought-tolerant once established; resents wet feet and rich soils. Generally trouble-free in PNW gardens with sharp drainage.
For a Pacific Northwest native plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
