Hi Olivier,
I don't remember which cistus it is but I think you identified it for me
last year when I inquired about it. It has a small, grey, pointed leaf with
a small pink flower. As I remember the variety begins with an "s."
Should I leave the clay soil that's already there as is, and just put the
rocky, sandy mixture on top? Or should I try to mix it all together?
