White-leaf rock-rose
Cistus albidus
White-leaf rock-rose is a drought-tolerant Mediterranean shrub that thrives in full sun and well-drained, poor soils — perfect for low-maintenance xeriscaping. Once established, it requires very little watering and is highly tolerant of heat, rocky ground, and coastal conditions. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and improve longevity.
