A very low-growing herb that produces small grey-green, furry leaves that release a soft aroma when bruised.
Pink flowers are produced in summer.
Its foliage is used for cooking, infusions (tea) and medicinal purposes including antiseptic, parasiticidal, deodorant, gargle and cure for migraines, hair loss and flatulence.
It's also very nice in the bath and will preserve meat (wonder if there's a connection there?).
In the garden this species will have a variable spread and tends to hug the ground. Looks good growing in between stepping-stones and in pots.
