Thymus moroderi is a small, drought-tolerant subshrub from the dry southeast of Spain, typically about 20 cm tall and 25 cm across. It needs full sun, sharp drainage and very little water.
Thymus moroderi is a small plant from the genus Thymus. It is endemic to some areas in the southern, driest part of the Alicante province (where it is called cantahueso or cantueso both in Spanish and Valencian) along with some isolated and similarly subarid locations in the contiguous Región de Murcia (Spain).
Thymus moroderi must not be confused with the somewhat similar in appearance (yet from the genus Lavandula) Lavandula stoechas, which is also called cantueso in Spanish.
