Santolina ‘Chamaecyparissus’ – 2 litre pot
Otter Price: £8.99
Santolina ‘Chamaecyparissus’ is a dwarf evergreen shrub. This compact plant features narrow, silvery-woolly leaves with intricate dissected patterns. On long stalks, the button-like flowerheads emerge in a vibrant shade of bright yellow, creating a cheerful display that lasts throughout the summer season.
Care instructions:
– Avoid planting directly in the frozen soil.
– Container planting is possible throughout the year; use containers that are large and deep enough to prevent roots from freezing in the winter, and ensure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the container. Planting in small containers will lead to plants becoming rootbound.
– Water well after planting. Water well in dry weather. Avoid waterlogged conditions in winter.
– In the spring, remove the dead and damaged leaves from the foliage.
– Feed weekly when the plant is in flowering season.
– To maintain the plant’s appearance, remove faded flowers by cutting the stem to a strong leaf without leaving it sticking out of the foliage.
