This plant is very fond of the limestone areas which I like to frequent being abundant on both the Great Orme and in the Derbyshire white peak. It is a commonly used herb with leaves that have a quite strong aroma when crushed. In summer the fragrance of this herb when the weather is hot is one of the pleasures of walking in limestone country.
