German Winter Organic Thyme Seeds
Description
Description
German Winter Thyme is the dependable culinary thyme for both kitchen and landscape. Small, deep green leaves release a complex aroma—earthy, slightly sweet, with bright hints of pine and citrus.
Heavily branched plants form tidy, woody mounds that reach 6–12 inches tall and return year after year in Zones 5–8. In early summer, delicate blossoms appear, attracting pollinators while adding soft texture to the garden.
Thyme prefers full sun and light, well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates dry conditions well. In colder regions, mulch lightly for winter protection. Plants gradually become woody and benefit from dividing or refreshing every few years to maintain vigor.
Ideal for roasted vegetables, poultry, soups, sauces, and fresh herb blends. Also excellent along borders, in rock gardens, and tucked between stepping stones.
