Yellow germander, scientifically known as Teucrium luteum subsp. lusitanicum, is a hardy perennial herb native to southern Europe and parts of North Africa. It is characterized by its bright yellow flowers and aromatic, hairy leaves that emit a distinct scent. This plant thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and dry landscapes. Its resilience and ornamental value have made it a favored plant among gardeners and botanists alike. Despite its beauty, it requires careful cultivation to avoid overgrowth in natural habitats.
