The foliage grows about 12 inches high, although you can keep it pruned shorter, and the flowers stretch up to about 18 inches high. Keep it out of the wind to prevent damage to the evergreen foliage and cover with pine boughs during winter. Remove dead or damaged growth in spring. You can shear germander regularly to maintain a desired shape, but stop in late summer in climates with cold winters. You can start germander quickly from root divisions and stem cuttings or slowly from seed.
Variegated germander is a full-sized germander with yellow and white variegations.
Historically it was used for medicinal purposes. T. flavum, a marginally hardy germander, has large, sometimes furry leaves with yellow flowers on plants about 2 feet tall.
