Teucrium fruticans: characteristics and care

Teucrium fruticans, popularly known as olivilla, is a perennial shrub native to the western Mediterranean basin that stands out for its aromatic silvery-grey foliage and its small bluish flowers that appear in spring.

Its silvery foliage and good tolerance to pruning make it a popular choice for low hedges and borders in Mediterranean-style gardens.

Once established, it tolerates drought, wind, and poor, calcareous soils very well.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
