Thymus 'Spicy Orange'

'Spicy Orange' is a hybrid cultivar of Thymus grown for its strong flavor and sweet, citrus-like scent.

[edit] Description

'Spicy Orange' is a low, spreading thyme with sharp awn-shaped leaves and pale purple flowers.

As with most thymes, good drainage is essential, otherwise not picky about soils.

A very strong flavored herb when used fresh. Also grown as a scented ground cover, and tolerates some foot traffic.

Propagate by cuttings or division.

Best used as a fresh herb. Cut growing tips 1-2" long, cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
