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.

I don't know which variety you have, but it looks very much like mine,
only different. Mine is called Teucrum Chamaedrys. It would grow to
about a foot high and get floppy if I didn't keep it trimmed for a
hedge. The leaf looks the same though my flowers are more purple

Jeana, does your Teicrium have silver foliage like the one in the
picture? The description in Sunset Western Garden Book for T.
chamaedrys (aka T. x lucidrys) sounds like the plant but it does not
mention silver foliage. Here's the SWGB entry:
T. x Lucidrys (T. Chamaedrys) Zones 2-24. to 1 ft. tall and 2 ft.
wide, with many upright, woody-based stems densely chothed in toothed
dark green, 3/4 inch long leaves. Red-purple or white summer flowers
in loose spikes (white-flowered form is looser). Attracts bees. Us as
edging, foregreound, low clipped hedge, or small scale ground cover.
Shear back once or twice a year to keep neat and force side branching.
'Prostratum' is 4-6 in. high, spreading to 3 ft. or more.
