Cistus Corbariensis care
Plant the Cistus Corbariensis in a warm, sunny area of the garden, sheltered from strong cold winds with well drained soils where it will thrive and grow into a healthy garden plant. Generally disease and pest free and only requiring very light pruning makes the Cistus Corbariensis a very easy garden plant to grow, perfect for gardeners of all abilities. Not coping well from hard prunes, the Cistus may sometimes need a very light prune directly after flowering to remove any damaged branches, or any which grow out of the natural framework.
