Teucrium Polium Subsp. Dunense

Greek germander, scientifically known as Teucrium polium subsp. dunense, is a hardy perennial herb native to the mountainous regions of Greece and the Balkans. This aromatic plant is characterized by its slender stems, lance-shaped leaves, and clusters of small, sky-blue flowers that bloom in late spring. It thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a resilient choice for rock gardens and dry landscapes. Greek germander has a long history of use in traditional medicine for its purported anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Its unique appearance and ecological value make it a notable species in Mediterranean flora.
