I must apologize to my readers for my long hiatus from blogging. Life has been throwing lemons and I have been doing my best to make lemonade. During challenging times it’s wise to “stop and smell the roses” and they just happen to be blooming here in zone 4.
I do however want to shift my focus to another amazing perennial I planted eight years ago called “Santolina Chamaecyparissus” or Cotton Lavender. It is native to western and central Mediterranean and grows very well on the sunny side of my garden. It was slow to develop but after its third season it has never let me down. Plant this drought tolerant show stopper in full sun and fertile soil for long lasting blooms from early spring till fall. Cheers
