Thyme

Plant thyme in your herb garden, at the edge of a walk, along a short garden wall, or in containers. The flowers open in spring and summer, sprinkling the plant with tiny, two-lipped blossoms attractive to bees. As a spreading plant, thyme can be used as a groundcover in a site with excellent drainage. Thyme does best in full sun. Pinching the tips of the stems keeps plants bushy.
