| Growth Tips | Cultivation and Propagation: Germander is a shrubby perennial with a creeping rootstock, upright to spreading stems, and shiny, oval, evergreen leaves that resemble oak leaves. They are aromatic when crushed. It grows tall and spreads from 4 to 10 inches. Small, rosy, 2-lipped flowers appear in summer and last the entire growing season. Germander likes average, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.3 in full sun or partial shade. It does well in containers in full sun. Germander is hardy to zone 5, but mine do well in zone 4 in a sheltered location, mulched in the fall for winter protection. Prune well in the spring to encourage branching and to shape. It can be started from seed, but it might take up to 30 days to germinate. It is best to buy plants from a reputable nursery. Once established, it can be propagated by cuttings in spring, layering during the growing season, or division in the fall. Because of its trailing habit, the plant's stems can be easily pinned to the ground and will automatically put out roots. Space plants a foot apart. Pests: Can get mildew, leaf spot, rust, and mites, according to authorities, but mine never get any of those. |

Understanding Plant Pot Sizes
When you’re choosing plants, you’ll often see sizes listed as #1, #2, or #3 containers. These numbers refer to the volume of the pot, not the age of the plant.
#1 Pot – Holds about 1 gallon of soil. These are small starter plants, great for tight spaces or filling in around larger features.
#2 Pot – Holds about 2 gallons of soil. A medium size that balances affordability with faster establishment in the landscape.
#3 Pot – Holds about 3 gallons of soil. These larger plants give more immediate impact and tend to establish quickly.
Bigger pots generally mean more mature root systems, but the right choice depends on your project goals, timeline, and budget.
