Thyme (common) 9cm

A timeless favourite in both the kitchen and the garden, Common Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a compact, evergreen herb with a strong, earthy flavour. Perfect for seasoning meats, stews, soups and roasted vegetables, its tiny aromatic leaves are packed with culinary power.

In summer, it produces dainty pale pink flowers that attract bees and beneficial insects, making it just as useful for wildlife as it is for cooking.
