Teucrium ‘Silver n Sapphires’

Common Name:
Germander ‘Silver n Sapphires’

Description:
Teucrium ‘Silver n Sapphires’ is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its striking contrast of silvery-grey foliage and vivid sapphire-blue flowers. The soft, textured leaves provide year-round interest, while masses of upright flower spikes appear from late spring through summer, creating a vibrant display that attracts bees and beneficial pollinators. This hardy variety thrives in Melbourne conditions, particularly in full sun and well-drained soils, and is well suited to dry gardens and coastal landscapes. Its naturally neat, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for low hedging, borders, and feature planting, as well as in containers. Drought tolerant once established and requiring minimal upkeep, it is ideal for gardeners seeking both structure and colour with minimal effort.
