Teucrium chamaedrys | Wall Germander
Wall Germander is a hardy, evergreen perennial shrub prized for its compact form, aromatic foliage, and charming summer flowers. It forms neat, low mounds of dark green, scalloped leaves that emit a pleasant scent when brushed. In summer, short spikes of rosy-purple blooms appear, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. With its tidy growth habit, Wall Germander is a favorite for edging, knot gardens, rock gardens, and low-maintenance borders.
