Teucrium hircanicum lemon Cheer up roses in winter

Cheer up roses in winter

poor stony or sandy soil

It makes a lovely addition to rock gardens and edges of paths

but the flowers are pink tinted only

but they reward you with exuberance and a faster growth if they receive more moisture

Teucrium hircanicum lemon Cheer up roses in winterTo quote Beth Chatto: A useful vertical for virtually any soil or situation. Rather course, sage like foliage. Each stem producing a spike of dusky purple red flowers during mid to late summer. Associate well with silvers and greys of different shapes and textures. The seed heads stand well although at the risk of over abundant seeding. Photo by: Salicyna, Wikimedia Commons
