Description

A strong, quick grower with lovely flavour. This thyme has leaves that smell like orange when bruised and blooms in summer with white to lilac pink flowers that produce a lot of nectar. For that reason, Thymus vulgaris 'Orange' is a popular plant with bees and beekeepers.

Care Tips

Keep cutting the foliage for culinary use and to keep the plant rejuvenated. This type has a looser growth than familiar thyme , making it ideal for trailing in containers.
