Bystropogon
Bystropogon There are about 40 species of evergreen shrubs in this genus, native to the Canary Islands and Madeira. Allied to the Origanum and Thymus, the genus is characterized by tiny flowers in much-branched clusters, with plume-like sepals that elongate at the fruiting stage, giving the whole tip of each branch a fuzzy appearance. Stems are square in cross-section and leaves, arranged in opposite pairs, are aromatic when crushed.
Cultivation The plant prefers mild and dry climates. Grow in very well-drained soil in sunny position. Propagate from seed or cuttings.
