Teucrium chamaedrys Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any moderately good soil in sun or light shade[31]. Prefers a dry calcareous soil and a sunny position[7, 9]. A very hardy plant, tolerating temperatures down to at least -29°c[238]. Wall germander was at one time widely cultivated as a medicinal plant, though it is seldom use at present[4]. It is a very ornamental plant, making a good edging for the border and able to be lightly clipped[200]. The fresh leaves are bitter and pungent to the taste, when rubbed they emit a strong odour somewhat resembling garlic[4]. This species is often confused in gardens with T. divaricatum and T. x lucidrys. It is important to ensure that you have the correct plant if using it medicinally[238]. Cut off dead flower spikes when the plant has finished flowering in order to encourage bushy new growth[238]. A good bee plant[31]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
