American germander
Teucrium canadense
American germander is an easy-to-grow native perennial that produces spikes of pink to lavender flowers loved by pollinators throughout summer. It thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers consistently moist, fertile soil, making it well-suited for rain gardens and woodland edges. Once established, it spreads gradually via rhizomes, so occasional division helps keep it contained and vigorous.
