Culinary & Growing Tips
English Thyme is indispensable in the kitchen for roasted chicken, grilled fish, vegetable dishes, soups, stews, and herb blends. Use fresh or dried—the flavor intensifies when dried, so use sparingly. In the garden, plant in full sun with excellent drainage in containers, herb gardens, or as edging along pathways. Drought-tolerant once established, this low-maintenance herb rewards you with continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
