Villa Thulasi (Santolina Chamaecyparissus) Lavender Cotton

A touch of silver magic! 🌿 Villa Thulasi (Lavender Cotton) is a fragrant, silvery shrub perfect for edging, borders, and moth-proofing your home.

Villa Thulasi: The Silver-Edged Guardian of the Garden 🌿

Introducing Villa Thulasi, a plant that brings a touch of Mediterranean elegance and practical magic to any landscape. Scientifically known as Santolina chamaecyparissus and commonly called Lavender Cotton, this isn’t your typical green shrub. It’s a compact, evergreen mound of stunning, silvery-white foliage that feels soft and feathery to the touch, providing year-round visual interest and a delightful, pungent fragrance when brushed against.

The charm of Villa Thulasi is in its duality. Its fine, aromatic leaves form a perfect, low-growing hedge or border, defining garden paths with a crisp, silver line. In summer, it surprises with cheerful, bright yellow, button-like flowers that bob atop slender stalks, creating a beautiful contrast against the silver foliage. But beyond its beauty, this plant is a natural pest repellent. For centuries, its strong scent has been used to ward off moths, making it a traditional choice for storing with linens and woolens. 🦋

Why Villa Thulasi is a Garden Essential:

• Year-Round Silver Splendor: Its stunning silver foliage provides a cool, elegant contrast to green plants and colorful flowers in every season.

• The Perfect Garden Edger: Its neat, mounding habit is ideal for creating formal or informal borders, pathways, and knot gardens.

• A Natural Moth Repellent: Dry the fragrant leaves to make natural moth-repelling sachets for your closets and drawers.

• Incredibly Drought-Tolerant: Once established, it thrives on neglect and minimal water, making it a superstar for water-wise and xeriscape gardens.

Ideal For: Low-maintenance gardens, Mediterranean-style landscapes, rock gardens, border edging, and gardeners interested in natural pest solutions.

Add a stroke of silver, a dash of fragrance, and a touch of old-world charm.
