Thymus fragrantissimus (Orange Scent Thyme)

Thymus fragrantissimus, commonly known as Orange Scent Thyme, is a low-growing perennial herb with small, aromatic leaves that release a delightful orange scent when crushed. It is commonly used as a groundcover or in rock gardens. The plant produces small, pink or lilac-colored flowers in summer which attract bees and butterflies. Orange Scent Thyme is drought-tolerant and prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It grows to a height of 6-8 inches and spreads up to 12 inches.
