It is called several different names. This is a very unusual plant and it will NOT overwinter in this country. However if you take cuttings which I do and keep the small one going in the winter. I plant it out in the summer and it will grow quite large. In a pot. Just take off a piece and put it in a glass of water until it roots. It can be grown indoors in a sunny place.
Always grow Herbs in full sun. It can be used in exactly the same way as the normal Thyme. Don't overwater. Keep inside until May.
This is only a baby I HAVE ONLY JUST POTTED IT UP. KEEP INSIDE UNTIL MAY AND DONT MOVE UNTIL MORE ROOTS FORM.
