Wall Germander

$14.99

Wall Germander (Teucrium chamaedrys) is a low-maintenance evergreen shrub that does best in full sun and well-drained soil. Water deeply after planting to help establish roots.

Care

Water weekly in the first year, then every 10 days or so once established. Allow soil to dry out between watering to prevent over watering. Shear small hedges at least twice a year to maintain shape and promote denser growth. Can spread via rhizomes, which can be useful for erosion control. Prefers full sun exposure. Ensure soil is well-drained. Germander can be grown in containers using a well-draining potting mix. 

Growth Habit 

Feed annually in spring with a balanced general-purpose fertilizer diluted to one-fourth strength. It grows 6-18 inches tall with a 1-2 foot spread. In late spring to summer, magenta pink tubular flowers grow in whorls from the leaf axils and are attractive to bees. The leaves are aromatic and shiny with scalloped edges.

Toxicity  

Wall Germander is considered toxic to pets. Deer & rabbit resistant.
