I've been trying for weeks to get a photo of the green santolina to show you all. I love this plant. It has the prettiest bright green foliage and yellow button flowers. Every photo fades out the flowers to white. Oh, well, hopefully this gives you some idea.

Anyway, try it sometime for a tough spot. They like full sun but are extremely drought tolerant and will spread from a small plant to a big clump. They smell nice too. I wish I knew how to divide them to share but you can get them for a dollar or two at anyplace that sells herbs.
