Description
Cotton Lavender is a beautifully fine-textured evergreen shrub that enhances Massachusetts gardens with its silver-gray foliage and bright yellow button flowers. Blooming from early to mid-summer, Cotton Lavender produces lightly scented yellow flowers ideal for cutting, while its fragrant, narrow leaves remain silver through winter, adding year-round appeal. This plant’s mounded form creates an elegant, delicate texture in rock gardens, borders, or herb gardens.
Thriving in Massachusetts’s well-drained soils, Cotton Lavender is deer-resistant and attracts butterflies, making it an excellent choice for naturalistic or cottage-style gardens.
