Teucrium fruticans is known for its silvery, aromatic foliage and compact, bushy habit, it makes an excellent choice for hedging, borders, or as a low-maintenance specimen plant. During late spring to summer, it produces abundant spikes of small, lavender-blue flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. This drought-tolerant shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for dry or coastal gardens. Teucrium fruticans is also highly resistant to pests and diseases, offering year-round appeal with minimal care. Teucrium fruticans is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly found in areas such as southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East.

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
