Teucrium
gussonei ~ Fruity Germander |
| Teucrium gussonei 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 gussonei in 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 gussonei
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 gussonei in their
landscape after getting a good sniff of that. Some nurseries are
selling this under the name of Teucrium cossonii, or Teucrium majoricum.
I believe that all are the same plant.
