Thyme is a popular aromatic perennial that no sunny herb garden—or good kitchen—should be without. It hails from the hot regions around the Mediterranean, where it grows naturally on stony slopes. Thanks to this, it is extremely drought-tolerant and handles hot summer days with ease.
It thrives best in full sun and well-drained, somewhat poor, sandy soil. Thyme is an undemanding plant that requires no complicated care and is generally avoided by common pests. Once you transplant our seedlings and they take root in their new home, they will soon form lush mounds covered in tiny leaves.
On warm days, these leaves release an intense fragrance that attracts bees and butterflies to the garden. Thyme is a perfect choice for rock gardens, the edges of dry stone walls, or patio containers. And, of course, it’s an essential in the kitchen, where fresh sprigs add the perfect flavor to your dishes.
