Thymus vulgaris 'Winter Thyme' is a hardy, aromatic perennial herb producing small, intensely fragrant leaves on compact, woody stems. Its classic savoury thyme flavour is particularly valuable in the kitchen, where the leaves can be used fresh or dried to season roasted vegetables, meats, soups, sauces, stuffings and Mediterranean dishes.
Naturally adapted to sunny, dry conditions, Winter Thyme develops into a compact evergreen sub-shrub that can provide aromatic foliage throughout much of the year. It is excellent for herb gardens, containers, raised beds and dry Mediterranean-style planting, while its small summer flowers provide a useful nectar source for bees and other pollinating insects.
● Strong, classic thyme aroma and savoury flavour
● Leaves can be harvested fresh or dried for later use
● Hardy perennial returning year after year
● Evergreen aromatic foliage provides year-round garden interest
● Nectar-rich flowers are valuable to bees and other pollinators
● Kitchen herb gardens
● Patio containers
● Raised beds
● Mediterranean-style planting
● Dry and sunny garden areas
● Surface sow the tiny seeds and do not cover them with compost, as thyme requires light for successful germination.
● Avoid overwatering seedlings; thyme is particularly vulnerable to damping-off when young and performs much better in free-draining compost.
● Do not enrich the soil heavily. Thyme naturally performs well in relatively lean, free-draining conditions, while excessive fertility can encourage softer growth.
● Harvest leafy shoots before or around the beginning of flowering when growing primarily for culinary use, and dry surplus stems for winter use.
● Good winter drainage is more important than rich soil or frequent watering; avoid waterlogged ground, particularly during cold UK winters.
