If your into pretty plants that are also great for culinary uses, English Thyme is a must-have perennial herb for gardens and containers. It forms an eye-catching spreading mound of very fragrant, strong flavored leaves. Clusters of pink to lavender flowers appear in late spring and summer that the butterflies and other beneficial pollinators will appreciate. Excellent in pots that can be situated on patios and decks or to grow indoors on a sunny windowsill. A nice accent in small garden spaces or in groupings, mass plantings as a groundcover or as a border to line a path or surround a patio. The leaves are useful to flavor soft cheeses, soups, stews, stuffing, poultry, fish, dressings, sauces and even honey. Both dried leaves and flowers are excellent for potpourri, sachets, wreaths and floral arrangements.

Suggested Spacing:  18 inches apart for mass planting; 36 inches apart for space between plants
