Acinos - Basil Thyme

I grew several from seed this last season and have been pleased with the 
plants. The plant's related to the Calminthas and the leaves look like 
Thyme leaves but have a Basil scent and flavor. Prostrate growth...makes a 
nice hardy perennial groundcover and underplanting with showier perennials 
in border, etc. Bloomed heavily--flowers were a shade of violet/magenta.

I want to try another variety I have read about but not seen. Supposedly 
it is particularly long-lived and flowers are either white or purple. All 
I know is that it's a corss between a. arvenis and a. corsicus. Anybody 
been growing any of this Genus? The seed I tried was either a. thymoides 
(English variety) or a. alpinus (south central Europe).
