TEUCRIUM(Germander)

Genus contains 100 or more species of herbaceous perennials, deciduous subshrubs, and evergreen shrubs.

worldwide, but is especially common in Mediterranean regions. The simple or toothed leaves are borne as
opposite pairs and are usually very aromatic. The the two lipped flowers are borne thickly up and down the
flowering stalks.

GROWING TIPS
Plant in a well-drained soil that has slightly been enriched with organic matter, at a pH range of 6.5 - 7.5.
Extremely organically rich soils will result in heavier plants with weak stems that are more likely to fall over in
extreme weather situations. A great plant for groundcover and cut flowers.
