How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
6-18" tall x 18" wide. Teucrium chamaedrys Prostratum is tough, pretty and long-lived. This low-care groundcover has it all. With glossy green leaves and early summer display of deep pink flowers, Compact Creeping Germander is not fussy about its soil, and grows equally well in sun or shade. Tolerating light to moderate foot traffic, it's a great lawn substitute for areas too shady for grass to thrive.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (801) 769-0300 or contact us by email or chat.

"Of all the plants I ordered this year, these came looking the best. Very good root system and bright green leaves ready to grow! Very healthy and well packed in the box."
"My first 2 died and my replacements are small but content. No flowers this year, maybe next."
"I bought this for a ground cover under an elderberry where not much has taken root. I have tried multiple other ground covers with little success. The creeping germander has taken off, looks fantastic, and is doing well even though we are now moving into our hot, humid summer."
"I was disappointed that these seemed awfully crushed into their shipping containers. They are still bent over from shipping and they've been planted for 1 month."
"Using it as a ground cover, it is growing nicely, happy in full California sun."
"I have a steep slope in Boise, ID that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. There's no irrigation so nothing grows except weeds, Holly, and a couple volunteer currants. And this. It doesn't grow fast, but it's happy and healthy so I keep coming back for more."
"All plants arrived in good shape but small. Dug them in immediately. So far nothing has grown. Maybe they will come up next year??"
"I have used as ground cover in front of a shrub border. I like the slightly blue tinge to the leaves. It is growing rapids in my Kansas City garden."
"I planted two of these last year, and they have spread into about 6 plants this year. They are vibrant green, and are growing under my crabapple tree. They only get a couple hours of morning sun, and then are in mostly shade. They get hit with the sprinklers when I water the lawn about once week (twice if it is reeeeeally hot and dry out). I just bought three more, I like them so much."
"I have these growing in pretty dry areas with filtered to deep shade. They always just look perfect. They have grown very slowly. I imagine it would be faster if they got more water."
