Herb, Germander

Teucrium chamaedrys, commonly known as Wall Germander, is a perennial, evergreen shrub native to Europe and the Mediterranean region. It belongs to the mint family, Lamiaceae, and typically grows up to 12-18 inches tall, forming a low, bushy mound. Wall Germander is characterized by its glossy, dark green, oval leaves and small, tubular, two-lipped, pink to purple flowers that bloom in summer. This hardy plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is often used in knot gardens, as a low hedge, or in rock gardens for its ornamental appeal, compact growth habit, and attractive foliage.
