Teucrium fruticans

Teucrium fruticans is a hardy evergreen shrub valued for its silvery-green foliage, sprawling habit, and abundant pale lilac to blue flowers. Native to the Mediterranean, it is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, low-maintenance landscapes, and borders.

The plant forms a dense, bushy shrub with aromatic, lance-shaped leaves covered in fine hairs, giving the foliage a soft, silvery appearance. From late spring to summer, long spikes of tubular flowers emerge, providing nectar for bees and butterflies and creating a gentle splash of colour against the grey-green foliage.

Teucrium fruticans thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, hardy, and resistant to coastal winds and poor soils. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its compact, tidy shape and encourages further flowering.

With its silvery foliage, delicate flowers, and resilient nature, Teucrium fruticans adds texture, colour, and Mediterranean charm to sunny gardens, hedges, or mixed shrub borders.
