Santolina Chamaecyparis Incana, commonly known as Lavendar Cotton, is a beautiful and fragrant, rounded, evergreen shrub that grows to a height of 0.5 metre and a spread of 1 metre.
One of the most striking features of this Santolina is its foliage, which is a silvery-grey colour and has a distinctive texture. The leaves are narrow and finely divided, giving the plant a feathery appearance that is highly attractive. In the Summer, the plant produces small, yellow flowers that are held above the foliage on thin stems. These are highly fragrant and are often used in pot pourri and other fragrant preparations.
Santolina Chamaecyparis Incana care
The Santolina Incana will thrive in a sunny, warm area of the garden with well drained soil. In spring prune hard to encourage healthy, bushy growth the following seasons.
