description for "Thyme: Thymus praecox articus"
Coconut Thyme is really unusual! The unmistakable scent of coconut is given off when you rub the leaves of coconut thyme. Once established, these ground-hugging plants spread quickly, carpeting an area with color and fragrance. Try some along a garden edge or in containers. Can be planted outdoors in the Autumn in Zones 6-10. Gardeners in northern zones should keep the tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months.
