English Thyme for Sale Online
English Thyme is a creeping perennial that makes a beautiful ground cover in sunny, dry areas of the garden. The pinkish-white flowers are a welcome sight in the summer garden. The evergreen foliage is perfect for growing between stepping stones, and it tolerates light foot traffic and has a wonderful fragrance when leaves are crushed. Beautiful when allowed to spill over the edges of pots or a stone wall. Grow Thyme in a pot on your outdoor table, crush a stem, and not be bothered by insects.
English Thyme is a very drought-tolerant plant and is used frequently in xeriscaping. Butterflies and pollinators absolutely adore Thyme when it's in flower. English Thyme is suitable for culinary use and is often referred to as Garden Thyme.
