TEUCRIUM FRUTICANS 'COMPACTUM'
TEUCRIUM FRUTICANS 'COMPACTUM'
Teucrium fruticans 'Compactum' is a dwarf, evergreen shrub, prized for its soft, silver-grey foliage and lavender-blue flowers that bloom from May to August. This compact, bushy variety reaches just 50cm in height, making it perfect for borders, rock gardens, and Mediterranean-style plantings.
A sun-loving, drought-tolerant shrub, it thrives in well-drained soils and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance and water-wise gardens. Additionally, this pollinator magnet is highly attractive to bees and butterflies, providing a vital nectar source throughout the summer.
