Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

Ballota acetabulosa is a charming ornamental shrub native to Greece and western Turkey. Although it closely resembles its "cousin" Ballota pseudodictamnus, Ballota acetabulosa has a more delicate and refined appearance. This spherical plant tends to form a very dense and compact evergreen shrub, especially if pruned at the end of its flowering period.

  • Habit and height: spherical, dense and compact evergreen shrub.
  • Foliage: rounded and serrated leaves with grey-green fuzz, more silvery in summer.
  • Flowering: from April to July, small pink-purple flowers along the woolly stems.
  • Hardiness: tolerates cold down to -10°C, prolonged drought and salt spray; suppresses nearby weeds.
  • Ideal for: borders and coastal and Mediterranean gardens.
  • Soil: any, provided it is well-drained.
  • Exposure: full sun.
  • Watering: moderate during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: light pruning after flowering to maintain its spherical shape.

From April to July it produces small flowers pink-purple that cling to the woolly stems, with an elegant and unobtrusive effect.

Prefers full sun and adapts to any well-drained soil. Very resistant to drought, cold, and salt; light pruning after flowering maintains its spherical shape, and its allelopathic properties reduce weeds.

For visual continuity, it pairs with the silvery foliage of Stachys byzantina; for more striking contrasts, with the blue flowers of Agapanthus africanus or the purple of Verbena bonariensis.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
