Cistus Brilliancy

Cistus 'Brilliancy' is an evergreen shrub known for its vibrant, rose-pink flowers with striking maroon spots at the base of each petal. The flowers bloom profusely from late spring to early summer, creating a dazzling display against the backdrop of its grey-green foliage. The plant typically grows to about 1-1.5 meters in height and spread.

To grow Cistus 'Brilliancy,' plant it in a sunny location with well-draining soil. It thrives in poor, sandy soils and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for Mediterranean and coastal gardens. Water regularly during the establishment period, but reduce watering once the plant is established. Avoid waterlogged conditions as they can cause root rot. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots from extreme temperatures. Pruning is generally not necessary but can be done lightly after flowering to maintain its shape.

'Brilliancy' is perfect for adding color and resilience to rock gardens, slopes, and mixed borders. Its low maintenance and drought tolerance make it an excellent choice for sustainable gardening and xeriscaping.
