Orangelo
Thymus fragrantissimus
French Thyme with the traditional thyme scent but Orangelo has overtones of a citrusy orange scent what makes it unique. It’s a hardy perennial that survives to USDA zones 5a to 9b. Leaves are narrow, grey-green and during summer the cascading or spreading plants are covered with tiny blush-white flowers. In addition to being valuable in the kitchen, it’s just as useful in the landscape as a fragrant low growing evergreen ground cover where it spreads up to 30-35 cm (12-14”). Also suited for growing in pots and containers.
- Easy to grow
- Widely used culinary herb used to flavor food dishes.
- Tough low-growing plant makes an attractive ground cover that can withstand light traffic
- Can be used to cover slopes, sometimes used as a moss substitute
- Excellent cascading edge plant for mixed patio containers or flowers and edibles
