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.
Thymus vulgaris ‘Passion Pink’ (P-1898)
Each 9.25
Saluted as both a culinary delight and a winsome garden addition, this pint-sized evergreen shrublet gives you plenty to be passionate about. Rounded shiny dark green leaves shape a compact upright habit that’s garnished with good-sized clusters of look-at-me bright pink flowers. Ideal nestled into the rockery, herb garden or topping a stone wall, ‘Passion Pink’s tidy mien responds well to shearing, requires little care and can accompany Silene ‘Compacta’ or Allium ‘Blue Eddy’.
