Wall germander (Teucrium chamaedrys) is a species of ornamental plant native to Europe and the Near East. It was historically used as a medicinal herb for the treatment of gout and sometimes as a component of Venice treacle.
Wall germander is a creeping evergreen perennial 6 to 18 inches in height. Its scalloped, opposite leaves are 1/2 - 1 1/2 inches long, dark green, and shiny. In late summer, tubular flowers grow in whorls from the leaf axils.
