    Lavender Cotton (Santolina chamaecyparissus) is a Mediterranean classic prized for its striking, silvery-white coral-like foliage. This evergreen sub-shrub forms a dense, rounded mound of aromatic, finely-textured leaves that feel as good as they look. In mid-summer, it is topped with cheerful, bright yellow "button" flowers that stand out brilliantly against the silver backdrop, making it a staple for high-contrast garden designs and knot gardens.

    As a resilient member of the Santolina genus, this plant is the definition of "water-wise." It thrives in poor, sandy soils and intense heat, making it an essential component of any xeriscape or coastal garden. The foliage has a clean, camphor-like scent that naturally deters deer and pests. Why you’ll love it: Year-round silver color, extreme drought tolerance, and a versatile habit that can be sheared into formal low hedges or left to grow into a soft, natural globe.

    Product Details: This Lavender Cotton is delivered as an established 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It reaches 1-2 feet in height and width and requires full sun and excellent drainage.

    We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

    All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

    Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

    If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

    Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
