Thyme 'Orange' - 4" Pot
Thyme 'Orange', often known as Orange Scented Thyme or cultivars like Thymus fragrantissimus or Thymus vulgaris 'Orange Balsam', is a delightful perennial herb with small, gray-green leaves that release a distinctive citrusy-orange fragrance when crushed. This low-growing, woody-based plant forms a bushy or creeping mat, typically reaching 4-12 inches in height and spreading 10-18 inches wide, with tiny pale pink to lavender flowers blooming in summer that attract pollinators.
It thrives as a hardy perennial in USDA zones 5-10 (or 6-11 depending on the specific cultivar), preferring full sun, well-drained soil, and drought-tolerant conditions once established. Culinary uses include adding a tangy, orange-infused twist to fish, poultry, vegetables, stews, and teas, while its aromatic leaves also serve ornamental groundcover, fragrant edging, or medicinal purposes like soothing digestion.
