Cistus Blushing Peggy Sammons

Cistus Blushing Peggy Sammons has flowers of an indescribable and un-photographable shade of pink. I am not sure I like it, but what a colour. Like all the sports of Peggy Sammons it is relatively upright with greyish foliage, and like all Cistus flowers best in poor conditions, as long as it well drained. On our heavy soil most Cistus are short-lived but it appears that Cistus ladanifer types are more able to cope in these conditions which is odd given where they originate from. They could be worth promoting if you are selling in an area with clay soil.
