Thyme

Common thyme is an indispensable herb and a small perennial that will scent any sun-drenched garden. Its original home is the sunny Mediterranean, where it grows on dry, rocky hillsides. Therefore, it will also grow best in your garden in full sun and well-drained, rather sandy soil. Once planted, it becomes a hardy plant that can even withstand our frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. In flower beds, it acts as a ground cover and reliably complements drought-tolerant plantings. During June and July, it transforms into a flood of tiny lilac-purple flowers that act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. It is a completely undemanding plant suitable for beginners, which does not suffer from diseases or pests. You will receive a beautifully grown seedling in a pot from us, which you can simply transplant right away. The 'Compactus' variety is characterized by its dense growth, reaching a height of only ten to twenty centimeters. It impresses with its light purple flowers and very tiny, deep green leaves with an extraordinarily intense fragrance. The entire plant is edible and has a wide range of uses in the kitchen. It responds very well to pruning, so you can easily shape it into a firm mound. You can dry the cut aromatic sprigs to stock up, or use them fresh.

Common thyme 'German Winter' is an aromatic perennial that no sunny herb garden can do without. It originally comes from the dry and rocky hillsides of the sunny Mediterranean, so in the garden, it will most appreciate full sun and well-drained, poorer sandy soil. It is an absolutely undemanding herb that does not suffer from pests or diseases and reliably withstands frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. It thrives wonderfully in mixed beds alongside drought-tolerant perennials, but it also works perfectly when grown in containers on balconies and terraces. The ideal spacing for planting is about twenty-five centimeters. We will deliver an already grown seedling in a pot to your home, which you simply transplant directly to the chosen location and you can enjoy it immediately. During June and July, the thyme is covered in a flood of delicate pink flowers that reliably attract bees, bumblebees, and butterflies from the entire surroundings. The popular 'German Winter' cultivar differs from others with its overall more vigorous character and longer shoots. Its tiny green leaves are intensely aromatic and one hundred percent edible, making it a popular ingredient in many dishes. The plant also responds very well to a deeper cut, which allows you to easily maintain its dense shape.

Common thyme is an absolute must-have for every lover of good food and fragrant herbs. Its original home is the sunny regions around the Mediterranean Sea, where it grows on dry and rocky slopes. Thanks to this, it is exceptionally hardy and will benefit most in our gardens from full sun and well-drained, rather sandy soil. It forms compact small bushes reaching a height of around twenty to thirty centimeters, which can be shaped very well by regular pruning. Moreover, from June to July, it is covered in tiny pink flowers. At that moment, it becomes a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with rich pasture. From the supplied seedling in a pot, a strong perennial will grow after transplanting, which can easily handle frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. You can harvest the green aromatic leaves throughout the season for use in the kitchen. It is an undemanding plant that does not suffer from pests or diseases, so even complete beginners can handle its care. It can also be easily grown in containers on a balcony or terrace.

Original wild thymes grow on the parched rocky slopes of southern Europe, and Pompom thyme carries this resilience within itself. It will thrive in the sun in poor and sandy soil. It is an exceptionally undemanding perennial for beginners. Pests do not bother it, and after transplanting from our pot to your garden, it will quickly form a nice clump thirty centimeters high. However, in colder areas below minus twelve degrees, we recommend winter cover. During May and June, unusual spherical inflorescences in pure white appear on the stems, looking like little pompoms. The light flowers match the tiny grayish-green leaves and emit a refreshing fragrance with a hint of marjoram, eucalyptus, and sweet licorice. The cut flowers are suitable for drying. In the garden beds, it will look best in gravel plantings, where it creates natural borders. Moreover, the blooming pompoms act as a reliable attraction for pollinators, so you can look forward to the constant presence of bees.
