 Santolina viridis. Green Santolina. |
Santolina ( Lavender
Cotton ) is a small evergreen shrubby herb from southern Europe that attracts hover flies and ladybirds,
both essential predators in any garden. Santolina chamaecyparissus has
silver-grey leaves, Santolina viridis has green foliage. The plants have aromatic leaves, with long-stemmed yellow button flowers in mid-summer, and are easily propagated from cuttings. They are particularly suited to the drier climatic regions of the world. Once established Santolina can survive with one deep watering per month, making them excellent waterwise, xeriscape and drought tolerant plants.The dried scented leaves are also used as an insect and moth repellent. |
