'''''Acinos''''' is a [[genus]] of ten species of [[annual plant|annual]] and short-lived [[evergreen]] [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[woody plant|woody]] [[plants]] native to southern [[Europe]] and western [[Asia]]. Its name comes from the Greek word ''akinos'', the name of a small aromatic plant. They are small, tufted, bushy or spreading plants growing to 10-45 cm tall. The 2-lipped, tubular flowers are borne on erect sprikes in mid-summer.

Mostly quite frost hardy, they will grow in poor soil as long as it is well drained (they do not like wet conditions) and need full sun. Propagate from seed or cuttings in spring.
