CISTUS ladanifer

By hugo66 [member]

Readily grows in English Gardens North or South of the Scottish border to five feet or so. The leaves are long and oval in shape and in hot weather exude a sticky gum (Labdanum) as used in the Perfume Industry and used in incenses. To stop the plant becoming leggy, cut out six inches of the leader so that it becomes bushy. The flowers are white and may be two inches to three inches across (in Spain). it has around five reddish-brown dots on the petls looking a little like a five-pointed star. The flowers have hardly any smell, but the gum or resin on the leaves is odoriferous and as the temperature increases - so does its scent from the gum. I have two plants and so far, has had all kinds of weather and wind flung at them and they've come through with little or no affect at all when temperatures have plummeted at night in Northumberland.
