Summary
Thyme is a low-growing, woody perennial that performs especially well in somewhat dry, sunny conditions.
Description
Thyme is also considered to have antiseptic and preservative properties and has long been used medicinally, as well as to preserve meats. The tiny pink, lavender, or white tubular flowers of thyme plants show up in the spring and summer months and are well-liked by bees. Its tiny gray-green leaves remain evergreen, and most thyme varieties can even be harvested in winter in the zones where it is a perennial.
Additional Info
Thyme can be planted at almost any time. It will mature enough to allow for harvest within a few months, then will reliably return year after year in the climate zones where it is hardy.
