notes
Santolina chamaecypanssus Pretty Caroll is a mouthful, but the herbaceous perennial is well worth it and the super-long word, which roughly translates ‘like ground cypress’, is a valid description of the grey/green foliage. In the height of summer, delightful canary yellow pom-pom flowers rise to the surface of the aromatic foliage on fine stalks to great effect.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 3L
- Height and Spread: 50cm (1ft8in) x 50cm (1ft8in) after 2-5 years
