Santolina Cotton Lavender Hardy Evergreen Shrub Plant 2L Pot

Santolina chamaecyparissus, commonly known as Cotton Lavender, is a hardy evergreen shrub with a compact, bushy, rounded habit. Finely textured silver-grey foliage forms a dense mound and carries an aromatic fragrance when brushed, bringing strong structure and Mediterranean character to borders, gravel gardens and patio containers.

In summer, bright yellow button-like flowers rise above the foliage, creating a vivid contrast against the silver-grey leaves. This variety suits sunny borders, edging, low hedging and coastal planting schemes, while its evergreen presence provides lasting interest through the year. It is also attractive to bees and pollinators.
