Cistus Alan Fradd is an evergreen shrub with white flowers that form with a thinner layer on the petals of the plant. Each flower brings a yellow centre and red blotching, with both of those adding an effective pop of colour and character to this gorgeous garden shrub. To top it all off, the dark green foliage of the plant is evergreen, so that colour will remain throughout the year. Cistus should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and placement should see it kept in full sun at the best of times. Pruning the plants after their flowering period is key to ensure the best possible display every year. In the drier periods of the year, watering should be carried out more regularly so, especially in the Summer months, put more focus on the care process.
