Teucrium
cossonii ~ Fruity Germander (syn Teucrium
majoricum) |
| Teucrium cossonii will
slowly spread to 3 feet or more across if conditions are right. The
Fruity Germander likes to dry out between watering cycles. I try to
plant Teucrium cossonii well drained soils or at least on a
slope. I have not had any problems with cold, even in landscapes
that have temperatures that dip into the teens. Teucrium cossonii
will bloom most heavily in the spring and has a nice rebloom in the
Fall. The Fruity Germander has a smattering of flowers during the
summer. The foliage has a strong pleasant aroma when pinched.
I have not had anybody say they didn't want Teucrium cossonii in their
landscape after getting a good sniff of that. Some nurseries are
selling this as Teucrium majoricum.
