The tissue-paper-thin petals have a delicate, crinkled texture reminiscent of a wild rose, and although each individual bloom lasts only a day, the shrub produces such a steady flush of new flowers that the display continues for weeks on end. This popular variety holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding garden performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe vivid flowers are set beautifully against a low, spreading mound of wavy-edged, grey-green foliage, giving 'Sunset' year-round evergreen structure even once flowering has finished. Compact and bushy in habit, it's ideally suited to the front of a sunny border, a rockery, or a container on a sun-baked patio, and its tolerance of coastal winds and salty air makes it a particularly good choice for exposed or seaside gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOriginating from the dry, rocky parts of the Mediterranean, this rock rose thrives in poor, well-drained soil and full sun, and is wonderfully drought-tolerant once established. A sheltered position will help it perform at its best. After flowering, pinch back young plants to encourage a bushy shape, and lightly trim to keep growth neat, taking care to avoid cutting back into old wood, as Cistus do not respond well to hard pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach plant is hand-selected by our team at Pengelly Garden Centre, ensuring you receive a healthy, well-established specimen ready to plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37881077104808,"sku":"-","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/products\/sunset.jpg?v=1613034853","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/copy-of-cistus-x-purpureus-alan-fradd","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
