Teucrium marum  ~ Cat Thyme

Teucrium marum is one of the most fragrant herbs I have come across.  The Cat Thyme smells more than a little medicinal.  I have yet to test its potency in the company of cats, so far it has only been grown in dog inhabited gardens.  Teucrium marum grows 8" to a foot tall and spreads a little more than a foot.   Teucrium marum is quite drought tolerant.  Cat Thyme has grown well in a variety of soil types, though it is unlikely to do well in soggy conditions.  Teucrium marum was not damaged by Winter temperatures in the low teens.
