Common Thyme 100 Seeds Thymus vulgaris

Thymus vulgaris, common thyme, is a fragrant, evergreen culinary herb prized for its delightful aroma, attractive appearance, and exceptional versatility in the garden and kitchen. This compact perennial forms dense mounds of tiny gray-green leaves and typically reaches 8 to 12 inches tall with a spread of 12 to 18 inches, making it an excellent choice for herb gardens, borders, rock gardens, containers, and sunny pathways. In late spring to early summer, thyme produces clusters of delicate pink to lavender flowers that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. The highly aromatic leaves possess a warm, earthy flavor that is indispensable in soups, roasted meats, vegetables, sauces, and Mediterranean dishes. Drought-tolerant and easy to grow once established, common thyme thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and can live for many years with minimal care. Its ornamental beauty, culinary value, and pleasant fragrance make Thymus vulgaris an essential addition to any herb garden, providing fresh harvests and charming evergreen foliage throughout the seasons.
