Enjoy year-round flavor and fragrance with Winter Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), a hardy perennial herb prized for its robust, earthy aroma and cold tolerance. Also known as Common Thyme or Garden Thyme, this compact, evergreen herb produces small, fragrant leaves that hold their flavor even in winter, making it an essential addition to herb gardens and kitchen windowsills. Delicate pink to lavender blooms in summer attract bees and pollinators, while the leaves enhance soups, stews, roasts, and marinades with classic Mediterranean flavor. Thriving in sunny, well-drained soil, Winter Thyme is drought-resistant, low-maintenance, and perfect for borders, rock gardens, or culinary use year-round.

Can I grow thyme in a container?

When should I plant thyme?
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost and set out in spring. Warm regions (zones 8–10): fall planting also works so roots establish before summer.
