Plant in very well draining soil and give it zero water after it's established.

The Sageleaf Rock Rose has everything we love about rock roses in a prostrate growing form making a perfect evergreen, drought tolerant ground cover. Cistus species are particularly good at making dense mounds that suppress weeds and this one is no exception, growing to only about a foot tall but spreading to 5-6′ wide, it’s a great choice to cover ground in any Mediterranean planting. Place it beneath young figs, olives or grapes for the perfect drought tolerant companion plant.
