Introducing Cistus x purpureus 'Alan Fradd', a classic Rock Rose variety renowned for its elegant papery white blooms adorned with splashes of deep burgundy. This compact shrub is the epitome of seaside charm, thriving in salty air and sandy, dry soils where many plants struggle to survive. From early summer, each day brings forth a new array of cup-shaped blooms, creating a captivating display against the backdrop of its narrow, green foliage. Whether nestled in gravel gardens or gracing sunny borders, this evergreen shrub adds a touch of elegance to any landscape. Hardy to around -5°C, 'Alan Fradd' appreciates a sheltered site with some winter protection, ensuring its beauty is enjoyed year-round. Transplant 'Alan Fradd' into borders or containers outdoors, providing well-drained soil and full sun with protection from cold winds. Even in poor soils, this resilient plant thrives, making it a versatile choice for various garden settings. Regular feeding and watering during the growing season help young plants establish themselves, while occasional pruning after flowering encourages a bushy habit.
