Santolina chamaecyparissus

Lavender Cotton has been used as a low border shrub or hedge for centuries. As a decorative element in the garden it is particularly stunning because of its silver-grey foliage. Lavender Cotton grows to about 50cm in height and the same in diameter. It looks wonderful left to sprawl informally, or clipped to a more formal shape.

Lavender Cotton likes dry conditions, so it grows best in full sun in soil that is allowed to dry occasionally. This makes it a great low-maintenance plant for a neglected spot. All you need to do is trim it back after flowering.
