This stable variegated form of Cistus hybridus has a low, mounding habit that hugs the ground and creates a super colorful, evergreen colorspot. Hails from northern Washington State and has survived some brutal winters. Charming white flowers punctuate the flashy foliage in May and June. The Japanese use in mixed containers because of the fall pink leaf tints.
