Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I find myself liking teucriums more and more all the time. This is one of the nicest for foliage effect, forms a low, even trailing mound in the rock garden with small, very fuzzy, very grey leaves that looks absolutely terrific all the time. Flowers in early summer are yellow and nice but don't hold a candle to the foliage. Zone 5
