The germanders genus, commonly called germander, often thrives in sunny conditions, well-draining soil, moderate watering, and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. It's reasonably easy to grow, but gardeners may encounter challenges with pests like spider mites, diseases like root rot from waterlogged conditions. Seasonal considerations include mild pruning in late-winter or early-spring to encourage bushy growth, while drought tolerance makes it suitable for warm summer months. A cold-hardy genus, germanders needs little winter care in most regions.
