Mountain germander is a tough, low-maintenance perennial that thrives in well-drained, rocky or chalky soils with full sun to partial shade. Water moderately and avoid waterlogged conditions, as it is adapted to the dry slopes of European mountains. It makes an excellent ground cover or rock garden plant with minimal intervention required.
