Wilders 3.5' Thyme English

Thymus vulgaris

English thyme is a classic culinary herb with small, aromatic gray-green leaves and a robust, earthy flavor. It's an essential ingredient in countless savory dishes—from roasted meats and vegetables to soups, stews, and marinades. This low-growing, woody-stemmed perennial also makes a beautiful, fragrant ground cover or edging plant in herb gardens and borders.

Hardy in Northern Connecticut (Zones 5–6), English thyme is drought tolerant once established and thrives in well-drained soil. It blooms in early to mid-summer with tiny, pale purple flowers that attract bees and other pollinators.
