TEUCRIUM 
A small shrub-like plant of moderate growth with dark shiny 
leaves. Its evergreen foliage resembles Dwarf Boxwood but may be 
used in places where Boxwood is not hardy. Teucrium is ideal for 
an edging and can be trimmed to any height up to one foot. When 
planted six inches apart it rapidly makes a solid edging. We grow 
them by the thousands.
