Cistus purpureus --Orchid Rock Rose--

Really pretty hot pink flowers with a deep red star look like a crinkled tissue paper craft project! Each bloom opens in the morning and drops its petals by evening. Luckily, it makes huge quantities of flowers so you'll never run short! Full sun, evergreen, drought tolerant, fragrant, and butterfly attracting. About 5' tall to 7 wide. Fragrant oil called labdanum was a valuable alternative to whale ambergris in the ancient perfume trade.
