Transport your garden to the Mediterranean with the aromatic beauty of Santolina chamaecyparissus, commonly known as Cotton Lavender. This versatile evergreen shrub is a favorite for its dense mound of finely-divided, coral-like foliage in a striking silver-grey. In mid-to-late summer, it produces a profusion of bright, lemon-yellow "button" flowers on slender stems that stand out beautifully against the cool-toned leaves. Whether used as a low, aromatic hedge, a standout in a gravel garden, or to add texture to a sunny border, this hardy plant provides year-round structure and scent.

Key Features:

• Aromatic Silver Foliage: Features finely-textured, silver-grey leaves that release a pleasant, herbal fragrance when brushed against.

• Golden Button Blooms: Smothered in cheerful, bright yellow globe-shaped flowers throughout the summer months.

• Drought Tolerant: Once established, it is exceptionally resilient in hot, dry conditions and poor soils.

• Year-Round Structure: As an evergreen, it maintains its beautiful silver mound even through the winter months.

• Versatile Garden Use: Ideal for low hedging, edging paths, rock gardens, or Mediterranean-style Mediterranean displays.

Care Instructions:
Santolina chamaecyparissus thrives in a position of full sun and requires sharply drained soil to succeed; it will not tolerate "wet feet," especially in winter. It is an excellent choice for coastal gardens or gravel beds. To keep the plant looking neat and to prevent it from becoming woody or falling open in the center, prune it back hard in late spring (avoiding old wood) or light-trim immediately after the flowers have faded in late summer. This will encourage fresh, tight silvery growth for the following season.
