I have a plant which I believe to be a Teucrium x lucidrys which I bought in the Isle of Wight and planted here in Hertfordshire. It simply loves where it lives, and bees and butterflies love it too. However I have to move it as it lives in a part of the garden which is being excavated to lay new water pipes. I thought I would do this in September but worry about its root system - does it have deep roots? I had a poke around earlier and it seems to be very firmly ensconced. Will it sit happily in an open bed or does it prefer shelter? I should be so grateful for a little advice.Thanks. Vivien

Can't comment on what caused your plant to look a bit lifeless but I hope it recovered. I have one in my rockery and it was best bee magnet in the whole garden this summer. Well worth finding room for one everyone !
I recently bought a wall germander 'teucrium lucidrys' but haven't yet planted it in my raised bed. It has been raining heavily and very windy where we live so I took my pots indoors for two days. I put them back outside yesterday but noticed that the germander has gone a bit floppy today. Did I shock the flower too much taking it inside? How can I help it recover? Thanks :-)
