Description

Santolina is an amazingly tough plant with small, yellow, button-sized flowers that cover the 3'H x 3'W shrub in the summer months. The green leaves are very thin and needle like. This plant requires absolutely no care in most environments once established. Too much water will lead to mortality. Best grown in well drained soils.
