Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)

Culinary garden herb. Also called German thyme, or garden thyme.  Grows 6-12″ tall in just about any soil.  Wants full sun and good drainage.  Highly aromatic grey-green leaves and clusters of purplish-pinkish-white flowers in early summer.  Can be short lived, but is easily propagated from cuttings.  Slightly spicier than oregano and sweet than sage.   Many uses in herbal medicine.

Three 4″ pots for $24.   You can never have too much thyme.  Also makes a nice gift.
