The Plants

Thymus vulgaris

£9.00

Lovely, creeping thyme producing masses of clear pink flowers in June and July. A useful ingredient in bouquet garni, stuffings and sauces. It's an ideal ground cover plant for a sunny border or rock garden or in paving crevices. Useful for attracting bees and other beneficial pollinating insects into the garden, the aromatic leaves release a lovely scent whenever they are trodden on.
