English Thyme is a live 4-inch plant that builds a low woody mound of tiny gray-green leaves, aromatic enough that walking past is sufficient to set the scent loose.

Thymus vulgaris is one of the great edging plants: run it along a walkway where shoes brush it, let it soften the front of a sunny border, or spill it over a rock garden ledge or container rim. It wants full sun, light chalky or sandy ground and sharp drainage, since heavy feeding and wet soil both cost you that compact shape. From late spring into summer the stem tips carry whorls of small white, pink and lavender flowers, and bees and butterflies find them at once.

Fun fact: thyme is listed as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses, which makes it a rare front-of-border plant you can place without a second thought about the pets.

It comes to you as an established plant, healthy on arrival or we replace it free.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
