Orange Spice Thyme

Lancaster, CA

Is anybody successfully growing this creeping thyme? I've tried 4 plants now which were not cheap. All died. The only source I've found for them unfortunately is Richters (Canada).

So any input?

I'm assumng this is a Thymus vulgaris cultivar, we grow Orange Thyme (bush type cultivar), it's not hardy here as it doesn't tolerate much frost so it's in a pot with freely draining soil and bring it into the greenhouse every winter.

During summer does it grow well? I mean well enough to harvest for use or is it one of those runty little plants strickly for ornamentation?

It's about 1ft wide and 10" tall so yep it seems to like it. We don't harvest it but it does get a couple of trims to keep it 'fresh'.
