Thymus orospedanus
Thymus orospedanus
Thymus orospedanus is a rare Spanish endemic thyme native to rocky, mountainous terrain in southeastern Spain, well-suited to rock gardens and alpine-style plantings. It prefers partial shade and well-drained, lean soil — avoid overwatering as it is adapted to dry, stony conditions. This low-growing aromatic perennial is a specialty collector's plant with attractive small flowers that pollinators love.
