It is a perennial that usually grows about 8 inches (20 cm) high and spreads 12 inches (30 cm). It prefers to grow in strong sunlight. The scent is faintly reminiscent of thyme, giving it one of its common names.[2]
Clinopodium acinos is recorded as a food plant for the larva of the moth Coleophora tricolor.[3]
