Perennial USDA zones 5-10. A supremely vigorous and easy-to-grow thyme that wafts heavenly citrus fragrance. This is a perfect choice for the poorest soil on your property; orange thyme is famous for its ability to thrive in even the most nutrient depleted and dry soils. It is a stellar choice for landscaping, rock gardens, containers and the herb garden. A fabulous culinary herb that reaches just 8-12 inches tall. For peak flavor, harvest leaves just before it blooms. Allow the plants to bloom for a carpet of petite pinkish-white flowers that the pollinators will love. Arcane and highly sought after, it is a gourmet herb that lends unique, citrusy notes to savory and sweet dishes.
