@m.rithik.nair a closer snap of the Santolina as you asked. This was taken in January and I've recently pruned it back and I have new growth

Very - it suffered some unintentional abuse for a while because I didn't know about the care of an unidentified plant. But it has new growth again so here's hoping

Like lavender and rosemary, it grows readily from #cuttings 😊

@brightcolours true! I layered my English lavender last week - can't wait to have a new plant :) cuttings are difficult to propagate in India, given the climate :/ the English lavender is grown from seed and I had to go to great lengths to salvage it!

It looks like Santolina. A grey aromatic small shrub.

Makes sense that it's Santolina because I originally bought it as a type of lavender (and Santolina also goes by the name of French lavender).
