Please help me ID the plant in the pictures below. I've been told it's
a Germander (teucrium). Does anyone know the species and variety? The
pictures were taken in Sacramento, California in November. Thanks for
the help.

Have you checked the Sunset Western Garden Book? There are descriptions of 4
common species of Teucrium there.
With lavender-blue flowers, I would say it is probably T. fruticans, Bush
Germander.

Emilie, Yes, I saw the entry in SWGB, but the plant in the pictures is
prostrate and cascading. Teucrium fruticans is described as an upright
shrub. Thanks for the reply.
