Teucrium Marum, commonly known as Cat Thyme is not a thyme as its name suggests. It is an evergreen sub-shrub. It has thyme-like leaves but its scent is different from thyme. The leaves have a musky fragrance. Teucrium Marum is native to the West Mediterranean. It grows on dry hills and scrubby landscapes up to 30 cm. Cat Thyme flowers in summer, between July and September. The flowers are pink and appear as a one sided spike. It contains a terpene component that causes sexual arousal cats, hence the name of the Cat Thyme. The plant is also used as a homeopathic remedy. The plant prefers full sun, moist and well-drained soil. Teucrium Marum is attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. The plant is self-fertile. Hardiness zone: 9-10
