germander

Germander plants should be watered once per week during the summer months. During the winter, water the plants less frequently, allowing the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings. Each time you water, saturate the soil and ensure that it is evenly moist. Avoid making the soil too soggy, as this can lead to root rot. When you are done watering, make sure to empty all water from pot saucers and plant stands to avoid water saturation.

Germander (Teucrium pyrenaicum) grows best in full sunlight, in an area that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It also thrives in cooler locations with partial shade or filtered shade in the hottest part of the day. Optimum temperature for this plant species is between 64 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 20 degrees Celsius). Germander (Teucrium pyrenaicum) can tolerate a range of temperatures from 30 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 to 35 degrees Celsius).

Germander (Teucrium pyrenaicum) is a low-growing, evergreen and hardy shrub. It thrives in a variety of soils and light conditions, and produces fragrant white flowers in mid- to late summer. Pruning of Germander is best done in early spring, when the new growth is just starting to emerge. Prune lightly in order to maintain a compact habit and to promote flowering. Remove any dead or diseased branches to eliminate pests or disease. Depending on the size and shape desired, prune up to 1 third of the overall plant. If the plant has become leggy, it may be thinned out to allow for more light and air circulation. Deadheading spent flowers will also promote prolonged flowering.
