Teucrium Polium Var. Flavovirens

Greek germander, scientifically known as Teucrium polium var. flavovirens, is a hardy perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. It is characterized by its slender stems, lance-shaped leaves, and clusters of small, fragrant blue or violet flowers. This plant thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and dry landscapes. Its aromatic properties have made it valued in traditional medicine for centuries. Despite its beauty, it requires careful management to prevent it from becoming invasive in certain environments.
