Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Botanical Name: Thymus vulgaris

Thyme is a classic Mediterranean herb prized for its aromatic, evergreen foliage and tiny clusters of pinkish-white summer flowers. A staple in the kitchen, it’s perfect for seasoning meats, stews, sauces, and roasted vegetables. This low-growing, drought-tolerant plant also makes an excellent ground cover or edging for sunny borders and paths. Loved by bees and other pollinators, Thyme brings both flavour and charm to any garden.
