Orange Thyme (Thymus fragrantissimus) - The smallish, narrow greyish green leaves of this thyme have an orange scent. When you cook with it, the clear orange flavor lingers in the mouth without the harsh aftertaste of other thymes. It is especially good used in stir-fry dishes or with poultry, particularly duck. This species grows short and compact to 10 inches tall (with flowers) and 12 inches wide. Lots of pale to deep pink blooms in Summer are a delight for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Useful for edging, around paving stones, containers, pots, planters, or as a ground cover. If it begins to look a little shabby, just cut it back as it will regrow quickly. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid thyme. Drought and heat tolerant perfect for xeriscape landscaping where water conservation is a priority.

Common Questions

Q

Can I grow thyme indoors?

A

Yes, thyme is fine grown indoors in a sunny location.

Q

My thyme is getting woody, how can I rejuvenate it?

A

Cut out any dead or damaged stems in late winter or early spring. In summer, trim the plant back by one third of its height if it looks leggy. Cut back overgrown stems to the desired height to keep a mounded shape.

Q

How can I make a thyme topiary?

A

Prune the side shoots to encourage vertical growth. Stake the plant and hold it to the stake with soft ties. Let it grow in full sun with plenty of water and when the plant is about 2 feet tall, snip the tops to encourage side shoots. Strip the bottom two thirds of the stem of the branches and leave the top third for shaping. Continue to pinch off the growing tips to maintain a full dense top.

Q

Do I need to fertilize my plants?

A

No, feeding your plants is not necessary.

Q

How are Thymus fragrantissimus plants used?

A

Thymus fragrantissimus makes a wonderful fragrant ground cover, looks great spilling over the edge of containers, is great for rock gardens and in between stepping stones.
