A Cistus introduction. In 1997, plantsman extraordinaire Roger Warner gifted us this beauty, thought originally to be a dwarf after sitting in a gallon container for over a decade. Once planted in the ground, it sprung forth, revealing its bigger-in-all-parts self both in height and with sharper, bolder texture than the rice paper plant extant in North American gardens at the time. To 15-20' with 6'+ sharply-lobed leaves, slowly forming colonies, unless you don't want it do do so, in which case it can do so quite quickly. Actually, not as fast-spreading as the typical form, but will spread with root disturbance. The leaves are semi-deciduous, usually mid-December, with the stems having hardiness of up to 10 degrees more frost than the typical form. Sun or shade. Summer water. USDA zone 7 but has resprouted regularly in zone 6.
RICE PAPER PLANT
Araliaceae
