In the garden
Teucrium hyrcanicum belongs to the germander group (Teucrium) within the mint family Lamiaceae and originates from the Hyrcanian region. Members of this genus characteristically show four-angled stems, leaves in opposite pairs and a lobed, two-lipped corolla; Teucrium hyrcanicum bears white to cream flowers following that pattern. Flowering runs from June to September, offering a summer-to-early-autumn display. Cultivation requirements depend on provenance and the stock you buy: check the nursery label or supplier notes for recommended soil type, exposure and hardiness before planting. If you need definitive guidance on winter tolerance and site selection, use specialist references or the supplier's care sheet. In UK gardens this species is typically used where a summer flowering run is required; it can be considered for mixed herbaceous and shrub borders or planted where its season of bloom complements other summer-flowering perennials. The white to cream corollas from June to September are a reliable identification feature and reflect the genus's lobed floral structure.
