Dated back to Ancient Egypt, Thyme has long held its place as a revered culinary staple around the world. Flavorful tiny green leaves cover running woody stalks that grow 6-12” tall. Thyme has a sprawling habit, making it a useful ground cover in herb patches. Harvest fresh for a bouquet garni or dry for a homemade Italian spice mix. Can perennialize down to zone 4 with mulching, be sure to keep mulch on until all danger of frost has passed.
