The pink lilac flowers form long clusters along the erect branches, blooming for over 4 months, from June to September.

Planting and care

Teucrium lucidrys likes dry soils, even limestone ones, but will also grow in any good garden soil as long as it does not retain water, especially in winter. With very few exceptions, these beautiful perennial plants, which are very floriferous, prefer rather dry, rocky and poor soils, including limestone, which are well drained, and in full sun. In heavy soils, they can be cultivated on a slope, on a wall or in a rockery.
