Appearance[edit]
Wall germander is a creeping evergreen perennial 6 to 18 inches tall. Its scalloped, opposite leaves are 1/2 - 11⁄2 inches long, dark green, and shiny. In late summer, tubular flowers grow in whorls from the leaf axils.
Cultivation[edit]
Wall germander can be grown in USDA Zones 5-10. It may be propagated by vegetative cuttings or by the division of established clumps.
Medicinal uses[edit]
In Bulgaria, a tea is made from the leaves of this herb, called "podabiče подъбиче", to ease gastric distress.[citation needed]
