Teucrium ‘Summer Lovin’

Common Name:
Teucrium ‘Summer Lovin’

Description:
Teucrium ‘Summer Lovin’ is a compact, evergreen shrub celebrated for its soft silvery foliage and bright lilac-pink flower spikes that appear in abundance through the warmer months. Flowering from late spring into early autumn, it brings a cheerful and textural contrast to both formal and informal garden settings. Its dense, mounding form makes it ideal for low hedging, borders, and mass plantings, particularly in coastal or dry gardens. Adapted well to Melbourne’s conditions, ‘Summer Lovin’ thrives in full sun and free-draining soil, displaying excellent drought tolerance once established. It requires little maintenance beyond occasional light trimming to retain shape and encourage new growth. With its bee-attracting flowers and soft, tactile foliage, this variety brings structure, colour, and pollinator interest into the garden with minimal fuss.
