Additional Information

Fragrant, flavorful, and incredibly resilient, English Thyme is a classic perennial herb that belongs in every kitchen garden. Its small, aromatic leaves deliver rich, savory flavor to meats, soups, roasted vegetables, sauces, and marinades—and a little goes a long way.

Our English Thyme plugs are grown in biodegradable Ellepots, promoting strong root development and quick establishment after transplanting. Ellepots reduce transplant shock and allow roots to grow naturally into surrounding soil, creating healthy, long-lasting plants.

English thyme is a low-growing, spreading perennial that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and low maintenance, making it perfect for garden beds, containers, borders, and herb spirals. Plants return year after year, providing reliable harvests with minimal effort.

Ideal for beginner and experienced gardeners alike, English thyme offers timeless flavor, attractive foliage, and dependable performance.
