Notes
Gray creeping germander (Teucrium aroanium) is a groundcover for naturalized areas and low spots at the front of a sunny bed. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. Deer tend to pass it by. Light purple flowers open in late spring and early summer. The evergreen mat stays about 3 inches tall and spreads 3 to 9 inches wide.
Pairs well with Lemon thyme, Rock rose, and Society garlic.
