Thymus Vulgaris Common Thyme
Herb of courage. Perennial zones 3-11. Aromatic leaves are used to flavor meats, dressings, soups, stews, spaghetti sauce, fish, poultry. With the increasingly popularity of Mediterranean food, thyme has become one of the most popular herbs. Thyme is especially good in recipes that call for long slow cooking as it is one of the few herbs that does not lose flavor in cooking, so can be added early. Chopped fresh leaves are much more pungent than dried so use sparingly if substituting for dried in a recipe. Height 6-10 inches, sprawling habit. Lavender/white flowers in June. Lovely in rock-gardens, borders. Drought tolerant.Plant in full sun, and well drained soil. Easy to grow from seed.
