| Botanical Name | Teucrium fruticans 'Silver Bush' |
| Description | A Mediterranean native that brings a shimmering silver texture to the landscape. It is exceptionally heat and drought-tolerant, making it ideal for the Houston metro area. However, it is highly susceptible to root rot in heavy clay; for success, plant in raised beds or amend soil with expanded shale to ensure the sharp drainage it requires. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 3-4 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low; once established, it is very drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering, especially during humid or rainy periods. |
| Zones | 8 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Minimal; a light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring is sufficient. |
| Pruning | Can be sheared for a formal look or lightly pruned in late winter to maintain a natural, rounded shape. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
