Thymus up. vulgaris (Spicy Orange Thyme)
Color Name: Spicy Orange Thyme
This unique Thyme features needle-shaped green leaves with a strong spicy-orange fragrance, smothered by pale-pink flowers in early summer. Good for planting as a groundcover or between flagstones. Will tolerate moderate foot traffic.
This unique thyme will intrigue all passersby when you use this along a border, as a curb planting or around the patio. Light green needle-like foliage creeps along to form a nice carpet and then is covered with 1" soft pink flower spikes. Foliage has a nice spicy orange scent when brushed. This plant needs sharp drainage to succeed. Over watering will impair growth. Very drought tolerant.
Spicy Orange Thyme is easily divided in spring or early fall, and even small pieces will take root and grow. Drought tolerant, once established. Attractive to butterflies. Evergreen.
A narrow leaved, blue-green creeping variety that is simply outstanding between two pieces of fish, butterfly chicken breasts, or in tea.
Thyme introduces a savory flavor to dishes, such as roasted vegetables, soups, and sauces. It is also a key ingredient in bouquet garni, fines herbes, and herbes de Provence. Use thyme to enhance poultry, beef, pork, or seafood. This herb also adds a kick to cheese and egg creations. Thyme"s oils take time to be infused into dishes; add thyme early in the cooking process to release the greatest flavor.
You gotta try this one!
Growing Tips: The flowers beckon honeybees, so add thyme near vegetable gardens to assure an ample supply of pollinators. Shear plants back after bloom, cutting off about a third of stems. With dainty proportions, thyme suits containers or the tight growing quarters between stepping stones.
