Q: How large does Wall Germander get?
A: It is a low, tidy shrub, typically reaching 8-12 inches in height and spreading 1-2 feet wide. It can be pruned to maintain a tight, compact shape.

Q: How much sun does it need for the best growth and flowering?
A: For the most compact growth, densest foliage, and abundant flowers, plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). It will tolerate very light shade but may become more open and less floriferous.

Q: Is Wall Germander a good choice for a low hedge?
A: Yes, it is a traditional and excellent choice for a low, formal, or informal hedge. Plant 6-12 inches apart for a dense, clipped hedge that stays neat and tidy with regular shearing.

Q: How much water does it need?
A: Once established, it is drought-tolerant. Water regularly during its first year to establish a deep root system. After that, it requires little to no supplemental water. It thrives in well-drained soils and will not tolerate wet feet.

Q: When should I prune it?
A: For a formal hedge or tidy shape, prune lightly in early spring to shape and again after floweringin midsummer to encourage dense growth. Avoid cutting into old, woody stems, as they may not resprout.

Q: Does it attract pollinators?
A: Yes, the small, rosy-purple flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.
