Halimiocistus ‘Merrist Wood Cream’ (Wood Cream Rock-Rose)

An exciting cross between a Cistus and Halimium resulting in one of the best rock roses. Wood Cream is a compact evergreen shrub only 2-3ft tall and wide with attractive gray-green foliage and a unique floral display in summer. Crape papery flowers in a soft butter cream with burgundy blotches and yellow centers put on a beautiful show. Looks wonderful massed in the landscape or as a single specimen. A great candidate for a Hell-strip, rockery or a difficult dry area. Very drought tolerant once established. Appreciates well-drained organically rich soil, but it’s very forgiving and easy. Deer resistant.
