Cistus Shrubs

Cistus shrubs are ideal for sunny, well-drained spots, offering evergreen foliage and simple flowers. Tough and low maintenance, our chosen varieties are delivered ready to plant.

Cistus shrubs, often known as rock roses, are a great choice for sunny gardens where you want reliable colour without lots of upkeep. They’re evergreen, tough and well suited to drier spots, making them ideal if you want plants that cope well once they’re in the ground.

Cistus works particularly well in borders, gravel gardens and coastal planting, where free-draining soil and sunshine are the norm. Their simple flowers bring seasonal interest, while the evergreen foliage keeps borders looking tidy year-round. Plant them as feature shrubs or mix them with other sun-loving plants to create a relaxed, Mediterranean-style look.

One of the big selling points of cistus is how little they ask for. They don’t like fussing, heavy feeding or constant watering, which makes them a practical choice for low-maintenance gardens. Once planted in the right place, they’re happy to get on with the job.

We’ve hand-picked our cistus range to suit UK gardens, focusing on proven varieties chosen for strong growth and long-term value. Your plants are carefully selected and packed for safe delivery, arriving ready to plant and settle in quickly. If you want evergreen structure and seasonal colour without hard work, cistus is a smart choice.
