Thymus vulgaris

Common Thyme is a hardy, evergreen herb cherished for its aromatic grey-green leaves and clusters of delicate purple-pink flowers. Native to Southern Europe, this bushy, woody subshrub grows 15-30 cm tall and spreads up to 40 cm wide, making it a versatile choice for both herb gardens and ornamental landscaping. This variety is among the most robust cultivars, ideal for Indian gardeners who want a reliable and flavourful herb.

Thyme leaves are packed with culinary and medicinal uses, enhancing soups, roasts, stews, breads, teas, and herbal remedies with their distinctive fragrance and flavour. The plant thrives in poor, sandy, and well-drained soils, reflecting its Mediterranean origins where it grows naturally on rocky slopes. In India, thyme performs best in regions with mild climates, full sun exposure, and low humidity. Avoid planting in heavy, waterlogged soils, as excessive monsoon rains can harm the plant. Once established, thyme is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, perfect for kitchen gardens, pots, or borders.
