This is a brand new thyme for us which we have never grown before.
Information on the web is very scant with only one mention in the US by a gentleman who really praises it highly.
So a really unusual variety and one to experiment with!
One thing to be certain of is that it will require the same growing conditions as all other thymes.
A sunny spot is required, in a dry, well drained soil without lots of added fertiliser.
The rose scented thyme will combine well with other thymes, rosemary etc in a herb garden,
and also grow well in gravel and rock garden areas and create a fine display in mixed containers.
Try making a rose scented thyme tea, the foliage and flowers should combine to make an infusion that not only tastes good
but includes all the benefits of thyme oil — soothing to stomach and breathing complaints and highly antibacterial.
It would be great to have some feed back on this variety with your growing experiences and any culinary uses.
