'Summer Sunshine' Germander glows with yellow leaves in spring which then deepen to chartreuse green in summer. Deep pink flowers bloom late spring through mid-summer along the stems between its shiny, tiny, oak-shaped leaves. (Chamaedrys means "ground oak" in reference to the leaf shape and ground cover nature.) 

Wall Germander is an extremely useful and attractive evergreen, woody-based shrublet. Use this good-looker for borders, to cover the unsightly legs of other plants like roses (such a Victorian), as the evergreen base in an arrangement for a large container, or as the small hedge in an old world knot garden. 

Happiest with regular moisture and full sun, but they can tolerate a bit of shade and, once established, some drought.

Mature size: 6-8 inches tall & 12 inches wide, and possibly expanding; easy to edge & prune to keep dense and smaller if desired.

Minimum temperature: -20° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
