Thymus ‘Bressingham’

Thymus

Thyme

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,” says Oberon to Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Upright or creeping, these aromatic culinary and ornamental herbs form luscious mats of ground cover or sprite-sized shrubs, embellished with miniature flowers in whites, purples and pinks. Sprinkled throughout the herb garden, or around stepping stones or bricks, Thymes love sun and well-drained soil, and can even tolerate a dose of wind and salt spray.

<i>Thymus</i> ‘Bressingham’

Bountiful bright pink posies mellow to dusty pink while lounging upon an attractive low-lying carpet of snug extra-thin wiry stems dressed with Tom Thumb-like gray-green leaves. Small on stature but big on blooms and brawn, ‘Bressingham’ can squeeze into crevices, soften stepping stones, adorn scree gardens and drape over troughs. This no-fuss Thyme endures salt spray, light foot traffic and dry conditions once established, plus enthralls bees, butterflies and other garden visitors.

Blooms June–August

Size: 4" high x 8" – 12" wide.

Hardy to zone 4.
