8/7/09, little nothing mounds under the Helenium |
Santolina
virensThis lavender cotton has not done much for me, although it is starting to fill out now in its third year. I have three tiny clumps planted right under the maple in Meadow's Edge. The foliage is a nice upright hazy spiky mound. The flowers, which I have never seen, are supposed to be bright yellow buttons.
Clip to 1 foot in spring to look neat, and pinch growing tips throughout season for bushiness.
2012 - these never looked good, did not spread or fill out, and never bloomed. I took them out finally.
They are now ex-plants.
