Teucrium chamaedrys / GERMANDER
Teucrium chamaedrys, commonly known as Germander, is a compact, evergreen shrub that offers year-round interest with its small, aromatic leaves and vibrant purple to pink tubular flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The dense, bushy growth habit makes it an excellent choice for edging, borders, or as a low hedge, providing structure and texture to gardens. Germander thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, and it is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for low-maintenance landscapes. The aromatic foliage of this hardy perennial also has a slightly minty scent, adding an extra sensory dimension to the garden. With its tough nature, attractive flowers, and evergreen appeal, Teucrium chamaedrys is a versatile plant that brings both beauty and resilience to a variety of garden settings.
