Description:
Also called Lavender Cotton. Santolina Gray is a woody low growing
subshrub that makes an attractive border plant or when several are planted,
a low
hedge. Very popular for knot gardens. Belongs in every herb garden, especially
if you are trying to create a silver or gray theme. The plant's fuzzy, finely
cut, silver leaves are especially attractive in the evening when they almost
seem
to glow.
