Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil and water sparingly. Hardy to 0 °F or below and tolerating alkaline soil. Looks best if trimmed back lightly after flowering. The name for the Genus comes from the Latin phrase 'sanctum linum' which means "holy flax", a name applied to one of the green species of Santolina for its medicinal qualities and the specific epithet means "from Naples". This plant and the cultivar 'Edward Bowles' are often listed as a cultivars of Santolina pinnata subsp. neapolitana but the currently correct specific name for them is Santolina neapolitana. We have grown this great plant since 1994 and also grow Green Santolina, Santolina rosmarinifolia and the gray Lavender Cotton, Santolina chamaecyparissus.
