Cistus 'Elma' is an upright medium sized shrub with narrow, dark green, leaves and single white flowers. The aromatic leaves are gummy to the touch and give off an indescribable, subtle aroma. We are often amused watching visitors sniffing the borders trying to identify the source of the fragrance.

Late spring to early summer.  5 ft. x 5 ft.

White flowers

Sun     Zones 8, 9, 10
This is a genus of small to medium sized evergreen and semi-evergreen shrubs that are mostly from Europe and North Africa. They thrive in full sun and light, well-drained soil. They are drought tolerant when established.
