Description
Santolina chamaecyparissus, known as cotton lavender is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to the western and central Mediterranean.
The plant is a small, evergreen shrub growing to 20 inches tall and is relatively broad. Densely covered in aromatic grey-green leaves, in summer it produces masses of yellow, button-like composite flower heads, held on slender stems above the foliage.
This plant is valued in cultivation as groundcover or as an edging plant for a hot, sunny, well-drained spot, though it may be short-lived. Once established, plants can tolerate dry and poor soils. Its compact shape can be maintained by cutting back in spring.
Cotton lavender has many potential uses. Most commonly, the flowers and leaves are made into a decoction used to expel intestinal parasites. Oil used in perfumery can also be extracted from the plant. Branches may be hung up in wardrobes to repel insects, and leaves are also suitable for use in pot pourri and in herbal tobacco substitutes.
