Thyana Trifoliata

Three-leaved thyme, scientifically known as Thyana trifoliata, is a hardy and resilient plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It thrives in hot, dry climates and is often found growing along rocky outcrops and in disturbed soils. The plant is characterized by its distinctive trifoliate leaves, which are three-lobed and give it a unique appearance. Despite its small size, it plays an important ecological role by providing food and shelter for various insects and small animals. Its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for xeriscaping and landscaping in desert environments.
