Description
Thyme is a low, woody perennial herb with tiny leaves, slender stems, and a warm, savory fragrance that deepens when dried. This old kitchen staple is right at home with roasted vegetables, beans, poultry, soups, breads, and the slow-cooked meals that make a house smell settled.
Plants prefer sun and good drainage, making them useful for herb beds, borders, rock gardens, and containers. Once established, thyme asks for little but regular clipping, rewarding the gardener with neat growth, pollinator-friendly blooms, and a pantry herb worth keeping close.
