Cistus ‘Victor Reiter’ 

Cistus ‘Victor Reiter’

Drought tolerant, super-tough & totally floriferous ‘Victor Reiter’ is one of the rockinest rock roses we know. A super versatile Mediterranean native, this dude can take sea spray, wind, fog, poor soil along with the heat. Spring through Summer the silvery-green felty foliage becomes completely covered in fanciful 2.5-3.5” wide, rose colored blooms with creamy centers & golden eyes. Growing to 3’ x 3’ ‘Victor Reiter’ looks fab combined with Lavender, Gilia capitata & Layia platyglossa. Hard pruning is not recommended, instead periodically trim back stems to keep neat. Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot. Perfect for hell strips, dry gardens & erosion control. Named for the revered San Francisco nurseryman who was known for his hybridized contributions to the Fuchsia world, including the fabulous ‘Fanfare’.
