Teucrium fruticans (Small 140mm pot)
A hardy, silvery-grey evergreen shrub, prized for its fine, aromatic foliage and delicate pale blue flowers that appear through spring and summer. Its naturally rounded, dense habit makes it a versatile choice for informal hedging, borders, or a soft textural contrast against darker foliage. Tough and adaptable, it copes well with Canberra's frosty winters and thrives in hot, dry summer positions once established.
Position: Full sun
Soil: Well-draining; tolerates poor, dry, and sandy soils
Watering: Regular watering while young; drought-tolerant once established
Habit: Rounded and dense — suits informal hedging or as a feature shrub
Flowering: Pale blue flowers, spring through summer
Hardiness: Frost tolerant, well suited to Canberra conditions
