The classic culinary thyme, Narrow Leaf French Thyme is the perfect herb to spice up soups, stews, and casseroles with its fresh, aromatic fragrance. The leaves on this cultivar are a beautiful and compact grey-green that will cascade gently over a rock wall or through a garden border. Provide very well-draining soil for best flavor and be sure to prune it regularly to keep it from looking leggy, and to keep your cooking fresh.

Silver Lemon Thyme is a uniquely fragrant and delicious thyme that also makes a wonderful landscape plant. Placed near the edge of a pathway or between pavers will cause the aromatic oils to fill the air anytime you brush against them. The small round leaves have a beautiful light variegation along their outer edge and really light up a pathway, especially at night.
