With little knowledge, I'm slowly turning an acre field into a garden! This is my first gardening attempt, so there's such a lot to learn! 🐝🦋🌻

Thank you! This has done so well here and I'm starting to wonder whether having a hedge of it would be good. I've taken several cuttings and they all take. With it being evergreen it's nice even without it's carpet of flowers @franshinegee @columbiariver @gjones

It is quite dense @columbiariver but stunning when it's in flower. Sadly it doesn't last long! But it is a beautiful lush evergreen!

My mum bought me this evergreen cistus, brilliant value for money, lovely spring lushness and hundreds of flowerheads!

Lovely plant @SylviaDavies I think this is the variety we had previously, thank you for pointing to it, we always had such a great show of flowers with ours, will add to my plant wish list 😀

Today's challenge, count the buds! There's masses on this bush! Can't wait for the show. Just a pity they only last a few days!

Help me identify this plant please. It has loads of white flowers late spring with a bit of yellow on them. An evergreen bush with a lovely redish tinge!

It looks like cistus? Does it have large papery looking flowers @SylviaDavies

comment
SylviaDavies

@sanklune it's in a border I made at the side of a field. It's the third season this year! I'm thinking it would actually do a good hedge especially as it is evergreen!

comment
SylviaDavies

@joanboston yes, they don't last long unfortunately but an abundance of them! It's quite different ti my other cistus though! Very eye-catching even without the flowers and so easy to propagate! 😃 😃 😃

I have a cistus looks just like this. Yours is a beauty @SylviaDavies but I don't think they are long lived so keep taking the cuttings!
