I was on an other board that had a thread on planting a Tea Garden. There were several mints and thymes listed, but not my favorite.
To keep down weeds, I had planted a creeping thyme that produced large, red blossoms. The bees were really interested. Thinking the flowers might be sweet, I tried one too. Wow. Sweet and very flavorful.
Now I harvest the blossoms all summer and throw them in the dehydrator. In the winter I make a very special tea that I love.
A very happy surprise from the garden.
