Santolina incana 'Nana', commonly known as Dwarf Lavender Cotton, is a compact, evergreen shrub that is prized for its aromatic, silvery-gray foliage and small, button-like yellow flowers that appear in summer. This variety has a neat, rounded growth habit, typically growing much smaller than the standard Santolina, making it an excellent choice for edging, rock gardens, or containers. 'Nana' thrives in full sun and well-drained, dry soil, making it highly drought-tolerant once established. Its aromatic foliage is often used in herbal gardens, as it has a strong, pleasant scent when brushed or crushed. Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, Santolina incana 'Nana' adds both texture and color to the landscape, especially in Mediterranean-style gardens or xeriscapes.
