Thyme, Common/Garden
Thymus vulgaris
Description: Common Thyme is a hardy, low-growing perennial herb known for its tiny, aromatic gray-green leaves and clusters of delicate pink to lavender flowers. With its earthy, slightly peppery flavor and medicinal properties, Thyme is a staple in culinary, medicinal, and ornamental gardens. This drought-tolerant herb thrives in borders, rock gardens, and containers, offering year-round fragrance and beauty.
Wildlife Benefits: Thyme’s nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making it an excellent companion plant in the garden.
Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally used for respiratory and immune support, Thyme is rich in antibacterial and antioxidant compounds. Its leaves can be brewed into teas, infused into oils, or used fresh or dried in culinary and herbal preparations to aid digestion and promote overall wellness.
Native Status: Native to the Mediterranean region, Common Thyme thrives in warm, dry climates and adapts well to Georgia’s growing conditions.
Pollinator Friendliness: Thyme’s summer blooms provide an important nectar source for pollinators, ensuring a thriving and biodiverse garden.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 6–12 inches
Spacing: 12–18 inches
Sun/Shade: Requires Full Sun
How to Grow: Thyme thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soil and prefers drier conditions. Water sparingly, as too much moisture can cause root rot. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents woodiness. It is cold-hardy and can be grown as a perennial in warm climates or overwintered indoors in colder regions.
