Gray Santolina

A tough and lovely evergreen sub-shrub for the Mediterranean garden, Gray Santolina has fine textured grey foliage that is amazingly fragrant when the afternoon sun hits it. Native to sunny hillsides in the western and central Mediterranean, Gray Santolina is very drought adapted and adds great color and texture to the Mediterranean border. Has masses of lovely little yellow flowers in late spring that attract pollinators. Mixes well with rosemary, sages, lavender, and phlomis. Has traditionally been used as a medicinal herb and to make a very fragrant essential oil.
