Market price from $3.20 to $8.40

Santolina chamaecyparissus (S. incana) is an exquisite Mediterranean shrub most commonly known as Lavender Cotton. Its compelling contrast of silvery-grey foliage, reminiscent of the moon's glow, and cheerful sun-kissed, button-like yellow flowers adds a vibrant splash of beauty to any landscape. This robust evergreen shrub stands up to 2 feet tall, forming a compact, rounded silhouette that's equally charming in rock gardens, borders, or as an aromatic low hedge. Apart from its visual charm, Lavender Cotton is extraordinarily hardy, boasting drought tolerance and an affinity for full sun that makes it a low-maintenance masterpiece. More than merely a feast for the eyes, its fragrant leaves serve a dual purpose by naturally repelling garden pests, making this remarkable shrub a valuable addition to any home landscape or garden ensemble.
