Thymus camphoratus is an upright shrub with white velvet leaves and an aroma of camphor and summer.
It inhabits heathlands and xerophilic scrub on stabilized dunes of limestone based sands, close to the coast so is particularly well adapted to heat, sun, and a general lack of resources.
This variety is particularly interesting for both its culinary and medicinal value – as a syrup on top of a dessert, a seasoning for a leg of lamb or as an infusion for a sore throat.
The Tale
Interesting fact about thyme!
Like many Mediterranean plants adapted to drought, thyme develops a dual root system.
Firstly, there is the central taproot, which plays a fundamental role by penetrating deeply into the soil or the cracks in rocks.
Secondly, there is a superficial network of very long rootlets capable of capturing even the slightest surface moisture.
The plant is also capable of releasing molecules from its roots that inhibit the germination of other plants through a phenomenon known as allelopathy, which ultimately reduces the need for weeding.
A very useful thing to know for those who would like to reduce their weeding times!
