Description
Santolina “Cotton Bush” is a compact, evergreen shrub valued for its finely textured, silver-grey foliage and neat, rounded habit. Small yellow button-like flowers appear in summer, adding contrast and charm.
It thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Extremely drought tolerant once established, Santolina is ideal for low-water gardens, coastal conditions, and hot, dry spots. Regular light pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages fresh growth.
Perfect for borders, edging, containers, and Mediterranean-style gardens, Santolina brings structure, colour, and fragrance year-round.
