Cotton Lavender
This charming perennial features soft, silver-grey foliage that forms neat, compact mounds, providing year-round texture and colour. In summer, bright yellow, button-like flowers appear above the foliage, adding cheerful highlights and a classic Mediterranean feel to garden spaces.
Ideal for sunny borders, rock gardens, herb gardens, or edging, its aromatic leaves release a delightful fragrance when touched, enhancing the sensory experience. The low-maintenance nature and compact habit make it perfect for formal or informal plantings alike.
Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant and resilient, requiring minimal care beyond occasional trimming to maintain its tidy shape. It pairs beautifully with other sun-loving perennials, grasses, and herbs, adding contrast in colour and texture.
A perfect choice for gardeners seeking aromatic foliage, bright seasonal flowers, and enduring structure, this perennial delivers reliable performance, visual interest, and effortless Mediterranean charm to sunny, well-drained garden spaces.
