Wall germander is a tough, drought-tolerant subshrub that thrives in well-drained, alkaline soils and full to partial sun, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or low hedging. Once established it requires very little watering and is highly tolerant of dry conditions and poor soils. Its pretty pink-purple flowers appear in summer and are a reliable draw for bees and butterflies.
