Thyme Common 8.5cm

Thyme is a popular culinary herb known for its versatility in cooking, adding great flavour to chicken dishes, soups and more. Common Thyme is a bushy dwarf shrub sporting aromatic, green-grey leaves year-round as well as tiny spikes of white or pink flowers in the early summer. Its edible foliage is ripe for harvesting from late spring right through to early autumn.

Thyme originates from the Mediterranean, so it thrives in fairly arid conditions. Plant it in a well-drained soil in a warm, sunny area, and be careful not to over-water. It's ideal for alpine or rock gardens, or for growing in a container with plenty of grit incorporated for drainage.

Please note that all our plants come in simple plastic pots unless otherwise stated in the product name. If you wish to pot yours up we do have a wide range of pots to choose from.
