This is one of the most flavorful varieties of thyme available. This herb produces aromatic soft gray-green tiny narrow, pointed leaves. The small lavender flowers produced in late summer are attractive to bees and other pollinators. Thyme can be used fresh or dried in recipes.
Use scissors to harvest the thin stems. For the best flavor, harvest before this herb produces flowers. Trim every few weeks to delay the production of flowers until later in the summer. Summer thyme grows best in light, well-drained soil. It makes a great companion plant for tomatoes and brassica family plants such as cabbage and kale.
Summer Thyme is a good choice for herb and vegetable gardens. It can also be used to add texture to perennial and rock gardens and in the filler role in container gardens. Use a container that is at least 6 inches in diameter. Once the herb becomes established, allow the soil to become slightly dry between watering periods.
