Shrubby germander is a tough Mediterranean evergreen shrub that thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Once established it is quite drought tolerant and requires only occasional deep watering, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens or hedging. Prune lightly after flowering to keep its silvery-leaved form neat and compact.
