Thymus vulgaris
English Thyme is the traditional variety of this commonly used culinary herb. English Thyme, a staple in herb gardening, has small evergreen, gray-green leaves and blooms white/pale purple in the summer. It is a robust grower, making it a good ground-cover in the garden. Like all Thyme herb plants, it is shallow-rooted and needs a moist, well-draining soil. It does best in full sun to partial sun.
Also known as “Garden” or “German” Thyme, English Thyme is popular for its use in bouquet garnish and as an ingredient in the French mixture of herbs, Fine Herbs. A great compliment to lamb, beef, eggs, infused in honey and more.
