Madeira Germander is a plant we have grown for some time without venturing to propagate it - until now. It is a great small evergreen shrub to 80cm with scallop edged apple green leaves. Attractive even without flowers. Through late Spring and Summer upright 10cm tall spikes of rose violet flowers appear. A stunning floral display. Enjoys full sun and (as with all Teucrium) well drained soil. Can handle dry periods to the point of being able to become Summer dormant. A great plant that should be used in the landscape more regularly.

The biggest plant and the biggest flowers in the world of 'Society Garlics'. Really strong growth on a high performance plant. Grey-green strappy foliage to 60cm which is topped with mauve pink heads of Agapanthus style flowers. So good we prefer this plant to regular Tulbaghia violaceae which has been a mainstay in our plant stocks for over a decade.
