(2-3” tall x 10-12” wide) With a slightly spicy fragrance hinting at oranges and citrus, low growing 'Spicy Orange' Creeping Thyme will bring a delicious scent to your garden. Thyme collectors won’t want to miss out on this lovely addition to their garden! Plant along pathways, in rock gardens, in containers, and even in window box arrangements. 'Spicy Orange' Creeping Thyme has a mounding habit that takes well to periodic trimmings to keep it neat – otherwise, let it sprawl and enjoy the fact that it can handle moderate foot traffic when placed at the edge of pathways. Light pink flowers are very attractive to pollinators and cover the plant in early summer, while the scent keeps going throughout the year! The key to growing Thyme successfully is to ensure that it is given sharp drainage, and not allowing fallen leaves or other garden detritus to collect on the plant for any length of time. ‘Spicy Orange’ Creeping Thyme is very drought tolerant once established.

"I'm using this to put in between the stepping stones in my garden: It's creeping so will fill in those cracks and choke out weeds, it's resistant to light foot traffic so can withstand the occasional brush from stepping over it, and it releases it's wonderful fragrance when this happens. Also beautiful small delicate flowers."
"Arrived healthy and in good condition. Happily growing in it's new home"
"I planted this last fall, ('22), and this Spring, ('23), it has remained green, spread, and blooms prolifically, attracting bees early on. I want more."
"I planted this last autumn and by late May, it was blooming with pretty delicate flowers and creeping as creeping thyme ought to, dense and green. I'm very happy with it."
"I have just received it. Mine is small and withered. it's branch was broken because of too compact packing. it looks weak so I am not sure it will survive."
"I have a large uneven stone walkway and want the Thyme to fill in the gaps and boarder the walkway. It has nice delicate blooms, smells nice and will stay green most all year here in Zone 7."
"Small, dainty blooms. I should have put it in my rock garden so guests could see it up close, instead it is being overwhelmed in my border by larger, more aggressive plants. Time to get out the trowel. It is healthy and blooming non-stop."
