Thyme English Heirloom
Thymus vulgaris

Perennial. An invaluable seasoning in the kitchen, thyme, with its subtle, woodsy flavor complements a multitude of foods. Considered to be a staple herb of chefs, and one of the primary ingredients of "bouquet garni." With very small leaves and delicate, edible flowers, this thyme makes a lovely 12" tall landscape plant; use as a low hedge around your herb or vegetable garden. An excellent container plant to enjoy indoors or out.
