The Story
A Cistus introduction. From a probable stable hybrid population of O. fragilis and O. polyacantha collected east of Mt. Jefferson Oregon, the upwardly held 3-4" pads have well-spaced, pale cream spines, darkening with age, and yellow spring flowers, not in abundance. Creates a nice bold texture for container or a spot in the garden. Care as with other O. fragilis ... easy with good light. Frost hardy to at least -30F, USDA zone 4.
