Santolina chamaecyparissus is a compact, evergreen sub-shrub prized for its dense mounds of finely divided, silver-gray foliage. Native to the Mediterranean, it features a rounded growth habit and produces cheerful, yellow button-like flowers in midsummer. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-drained, poor soils, making it ideal for rock gardens, xeriscapes, or as a low hedge. Its aromatic leaves provide year-round interest and resist deer and rabbits effectively.
