Olive Herb Plant

The olive herb, scientifically known as Santolina rosmarinifolia and commonly referred to as holy flax or wadi tops, is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial plant. This versatile, woody shrub grows to a compact height of 30-50cm, making it a perfect choice for garden hedges, decorative borders, and landscaping projects. Beyond its ornamental value, the olive herb is prized for its culinary uses, with its aromatic, olive-like flavour enhancing dishes such as salads, marinades, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats. It’s a favorite among chefs and home cooks looking to add a Mediterranean touch to their recipes.
