Cistus x purpureus 'Alan Fradd' is a large-flowered cultivar known for its tissue-thin white flowers with a dark wine red stain at the base of each petal. This evergreen shrub typically grows to about 3 feet tall and spreads similarly, making it suitable for gardens by the sea due to its heat and drought tolerance. It blooms in June and July, producing large, crumpled white flowers against dark green leaves, and is ideal for sunny, well-drained borders or containers.
