Botanical Name: Thymus vulgaris
Thyme is a perennial to 40cm with tiny pointed leaves; it gets white flowers in spring/summer.
Egyptians used thyme to embalm their dead, Romans strewed thyme on floors to repel venomous creatures. They flavoured their cheese with it. And for centuries bees on Mt Hymettus near Athens have produced a famous wild thyme honey.
The leaves can be used in stews, soups, roast chicken, meat, eggs and fish. Use in stuffing or sprinkle over baked vegetables. Nice stirred through cooked mushrooms and omelettes or sprinkled on sardines.
Thyme is antiseptic and can be used for colds (throat and chest), bronchitis, coughs, asthma, laryngitis. Thymol destroys bacteria and fungus use externally for fungal infections, bites, aches and pains. Many pharmaceutical gargles, cough drops, mouth washes, and vapour rubs contain thymes constituent thymol.
Thyme likes a well drained soil in an open sunny position. Suitable for a neutral to slightly alkaline soil it will grow happily in a rock garden. Thyme does not like wet feet and will grow well in a container on a sunny windowsill or veranda. Regular tip pruning from when the plant is young will ensure plenty of soft tips for adding to meals.

I purchased the common thyme which arrived well in the mail and is thriving in my hanging pot. The smell of this herb is fantastic. Thank you for the care and nurturing you give your herbs, because of that care they can survive such a long trip to their new homes. I will continue to purchase from such a great family company, Thank You.
Service was excellent and the plant arrived in excellent condition and is thriving.
