RE: LEAF COLOR ON CISTUS SALVIIFOLIUS

In our garden in California, both these plants are green without a hint of grey.  The prostratus form is a bit lighter green (toward yellow rather than grey).  Both have the same soil, drainage, sun exposure.

The  RHS Index  and the Filippi Catalogue refer to the leaf colour of C. Salvifolius as grey-green or "greyish" and make no distinction between the upright and prostrate forms.
