Description
🌿 Thymus vulgaris, widely known as Common Thyme, is a classic and versatile herb treasured for both its culinary uses and ornamental appeal. Available in a pack of three, this hardy plant adds a Mediterranean flair to gardens with its aromatic foliage and delicate flowers, making it a staple for herb gardens and sunny borders alike.
🌸 Blooming from late spring to early summer, Common Thyme produces clusters of tiny, tubular flowers that range from soft lilac to pale pink. These blooms not only enhance the plant’s charm but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enriching the garden’s ecosystem. The foliage is made up of small, narrow, gray-green leaves that grow densely along woody stems, creating a neat, bushy appearance.
📏 This evergreen shrub typically grows to about 25 to 30 cm in height, spreading outwards to form a low, compact mound. Its manageable size and attractive texture make it ideal for edging pathways, growing in pots, or filling in gaps in rock gardens.
☀️ Common Thyme thrives best in full sun with well-drained soil. It prefers moderate watering—too much moisture can lead to root rot, so it’s better to let the soil dry out slightly between watering sessions. This drought-tolerant herb is quite low-maintenance and benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
🌱 It is highly fragrant, releasing a strong, warm, and slightly minty aroma that is unmistakably thyme. This scent becomes more pronounced when the leaves are crushed or brushed against, making it a delight to gardeners and chefs alike.
⚠️ Note: Thymus vulgaris is non-toxic and safe for use around children and pets, making it a wonderful addition to both edible and decorative gardens.
🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 20 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 9 cm.
