'Orange Thyme' thyme (Thymus fragrantissimus 'Orange Thyme') is an herb for containers and the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This thyme has a classic thyme look. Its minty-citrus flavor makes it a fun herb to cook with. You can grow it in a pot near the kitchen door and snip sprigs as you need them.

Pairs well with Pennyroyal, Poblano pepper, and Red Sails lettuce.
