Choisya ‘Bluestone’

A Cistus introduction in 2011 from our Choisya captive breeding program. This cross between our own wild collection, C. arizonica ‘Whetstone’ and others has produced a 3-4 ft finely textured plant with pale stems, narrow, blue-tinted leaves, and dime-sized flowers in spring and possibly twice more in a year.Full sun to part shade, decently drained soil, and an occasional helping of water. Choisya ‘Bluestone’ has the robustitude of selections such as C. ‘Aztec Pearl’ and the increased hardiness of high elevation Arizona. Easily frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7, and possibly zone 6.
