The standard culinary thyme. Woody, aromatic, essential for roasts and grills. Hardy evergreen perennial.
Flavour
Common Thyme offers a warm, earthy aroma with subtle mint and lemon undertones, delivering a robust yet balanced flavour.
In the kitchen
Ideal for seasoning roasts and grilled meats, its woody stems withstand direct heat, infusing dishes with deep, smoky notes when cooked over fire.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, alkaline soil in full sun; drought-tolerant once established and resistant to most pests and diseases.
