Lavender Cotton (Santolina chamaecyparissus)

Sun Requirements: Full sun

Water Requirements: Low; highly drought tolerant once established

Height: 1–2 feet

Bloom Time: Late spring through summer

Description:
An evergreen subshrub prized for its finely textured, silvery-gray foliage and cheerful yellow button-like flowers. Its aromatic leaves and compact, mounded habit make it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, xeriscapes, and Mediterranean-style landscapes. Deer and rabbits typically avoid it, while its drought tolerance makes it a low-maintenance addition to sunny gardens.

Planting Tips:

  • Plant in full sun with well-drained soil
  • Avoid overly wet or poorly drained locations
  • Shear lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape
  • Water regularly during establishment, then only during prolonged drought

Ideal Season for Planting in Texas: Fall through spring

Nativity to Texas: No. Native to the western Mediterranean region.
