This winter hardy variety of Thyme, also known as Thymus vulgaris, produces petite lavender flowers and is a compact, aromatic herb. Its scent can deter cabbage worms and its leaves are commonly used in sauces, soups, and stews. This herb adds a flavorful touch to poultry, fish, and salads.
Soil & Water: Thyme can grow in most soils, but performs best in well-drained soil with moderate nutrients. Soil which is too rich will cause the plant to get leggy and lose its compact shape.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly pinch developing plants to encourage bushiness. Sow seed directly 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Thyme also thrives as a potted plant.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest leaves when the plant is large enough. Use fresh leaves, or dry and store leaves in an airtight container. Thyme also keeps well frozen.
Did You Know? Thyme has been used medicinally for centuries to treat certain parasites and a broad range of respiratory ailments.
