This is a low growing plant that survives on a slope in full sun. Any ideas?

Looks like it's in the Mint Family. Are the stems square, does it have a scent?

I had to run outside to check. While the stems don't feel square, when I picked one it does appear squarish. The steams are very woody. The leaves do have a minty smell when crushed.

"Thank you" to everyone! I believe it is Origanum 'Rosenkuppel' as that plant is said to be drought tolerant. This is growing on a very steep incline and it hasn't rained here in weeks. The grass is now starting to turn brown, but this plant is beautiful.

I am amazed by what I "find" growing in our yard. We've been here for under a year. The neighbors said that the people who lived here before us hardly ever cut their grass, much less planted anything. So, I am left to wonder where all these plants came from. I'm discovering that we have quite a variety (in odd places).
