Garden thyme
Thymus vulgaris
Garden thyme is a low-maintenance culinary herb that prefers full sun and well-draining, slightly alkaline soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, as thyme is sensitive to overwatering and root rot. Trim regularly after flowering to keep growth compact and encourage fresh, flavorful foliage for cooking.
