Teucrium asiaticum is an unusual subshrub native to the Balearic Islands of the western Mediterranean, particularly Mallorca and Menorca. Growing approximately 30–45 cm tall, it forms an open, bushy plant with narrow, aromatic grey-green foliage. During summer, delicate rose-pink flowers appear along upright stems, adding a soft splash of color above the foliage.
A charming and uncommon plant for the sunny rock garden, gravel garden or raised alpine bed, where its drought tolerance and Mediterranean character make it especially useful. Best grown in full sun with sharply drained, gritty soil. Once established, it appreciates dry summer conditions. Great for a sunny/tough spot in the crevice garden rock garden. I particularly like where it has seeded into some wall crevices.
Hardy to approximately USDA Zone 8..
