Product description
Thyme is a bushy, dwarf evergreen shrub with small green, white variegated leaves that give off a sweet, lemony scent. Come Summer, its tiny purple flowers will emerge in clusters and attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
This fragrant small bush is highly ornamental and will be a beautiful, fresh-smelling addition to a rock garden, patio or on path edging and lawns.
When used in for culinary purposes, it is widely revered for the flavour it gives to meats, vegetables or seafood. The earthy and floral notes will compliment meats in particular. Excellent addition in soups, stews, or stuffings.
Your Thyme plant will suit growing both indoors, or in your garden. Try a sunny spot on a kitchen windowsill, conservatory, patio, or even path edging for an aromatic walkway.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Cut back after flowering to maintain the plant’s dense, bushy appearance.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly during their first season. Thyme is drought tolerant once established, only needing to be watered during particularly dry spells. Bear in mind that container-grown plants need to be watered more frequently.
How to Plant
Choose a warm, sheltered spot in full sun and plant thyme in well-draining soil, leaving 20-30cm between plants. In areas with heavy or clay soils, plant thyme in containers with pebbles in the bottom for drainage.
