      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      A truly xerophytic species from coasts in the western Mediterranean demanding excellent drainage and dry summer conditions, so perfect for the Swan Coastal Plain and probably hopeless in areas with higher summer humidity.

      Forms a small shrublet with white felted stems clad in in greenish white felted, narrow, 1cm long, toothed, lance shaped leaves with their edges tightly rolled to conserve moisture and emitting a pleasing camphor-mint scent when brushed. Furry heads of small white two lipped, tubular flowers terminate the branches in late spring but are of little consequence compared to the sublime foliar effect.

      An excellent edging plant for exposed, barren and windswept coastal conditions or for contrast with other small hardy foliage plants like the closely related T. marum (Cat thyme) with dense pewter coloured leaves and spikes of bright pink flowers or Santolina of any variety.

      Tolerates at least light frost but is probably not terribly cold hardy.
      Intolerant of summer irrigation, water at your own risk.
