Santolina Cotton Lavender – Silver Foliage and Bright Yellow Summer Flowers

Add Mediterranean charm and year-round structure to your garden with Santolina chamaecyparissus, commonly known as Cotton Lavender. This attractive evergreen shrub forms a dense mound of finely textured silver-grey foliage that releases a pleasant aromatic fragrance when brushed.
