Cistus × pulverulentus 'Sunset', commonly known as Sunset Rock Rose. This compact evergreen shrub produces masses of vibrant magenta-pink, crepe-like flowers with bright golden-yellow centres from late spring through summer. Its attractive grey-green foliage forms a dense, rounded habit, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, coastal landscapes, and low-maintenance garden beds. The colourful blooms are also highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Sunset Rock Rose thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, where it performs exceptionally well in hot, dry, and coastal conditions. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for water-wise and Mediterranean-style gardens. Its long flowering season, evergreen foliage, and resilient nature make it a dependable and eye-catching addition to any landscape.
