Silver Posie Variegated Thyme (Thymus vulgaris 'Silver Posie') is a sophisticated culinary and ornamental herb that adds a bright, "frosted" look to the garden. This variety features upright, woody stems clothed in tiny, grey-green leaves with crisp, silvery-white margins. In late spring, it produces delicate spikes of pale mauve flowers that are a favorite for local pollinators.

As a decorative member of the Thymus genus, 'Silver Posie' is as functional as it is beautiful; the aromatic leaves can be harvested for use in the kitchen, offering the classic savory flavor of English Thyme. It is highly deer-resistant and thrives in the heat. Why you’ll love it: Striking silver-variegated foliage, savory culinary use, and a tidy, mounding habit that provides year-round visual interest in sunny borders or herb pots.

This healthy 4" live plant thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil with minimal watering once established.
