{"product_id":"germander","title":"Germander","description":"\u003cp\u003eNative to the Mediterranean area, this evergreen perennial is known mostly for its use in formal ornamental knot gardens. Germander has tiny little scallop edge leaves, like tiny oak leaves, and deep pink flower spikes that arrive later in the season, blooming for 4 weeks, calling in beneficial insects. Forms a woody, low growing plant, reaching 12-14” and can be pruned to desired shapes. Germander tolerates less than ideal conditions, needing only full sun and well drained soil. Resistant to deer and rabbits pressures.                                                                                                 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e30 seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTeucrium chamaedrys\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerennial, zones 4-9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e14-30 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 60-65ºF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  Sow on the surface, seeds need light to germinate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
