Thyme, Garden – Common Compact – Thymus compactus

Thyme, Garden – Common Compact – Thymus compactus has all the flavour (if not more) of common thyme but with a much smaller and neater growth habit.

The bees and pollinators love the pretty pink flowers in summer.

Plant in full sun, in well drained soil. This variety is ideal for use as low edging in the herb garden. The compact habit makes this variety perfect for containers too.

A popular herb in the kitchen it adds great flavour for so many dishes. A medicinal herb too, it has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

£2.50 – £5.30

I ordered the 1.5 litre size, very pleased with the size of this plant, perfect for my small pot garden and large enough to pinch a few leaves to test! Wonderful fragrance, a very high quality plant. It arrived in perfect condition, delivery was faster than expected and well packed so the plant wasn’t damaged. Would highly recommend!
