Tips from Fran
Thymus Spicy Orange is one unique looking thyme! It isn’t the flattest of thymes, so it didn’t get listed for pathways or patios, but it is a good one nonetheless for borders and accent plantings. Its on the wiry side, which is different and cool, and it has this spicy orange scent that is very nice to have around as you pass by.
