Thyme 'French' - 4" Pot
Thyme 'French', scientifically known as *Thymus vulgaris* 'French', is a popular culinary variety of common thyme. This perennial herb features narrow, gray-green leaves that are slightly sweeter and less pungent than standard common thyme, with a refined, aromatic flavor ideal for French cuisine. It forms a low, mounding, spreading habit with small lavender or pink flowers in summer, attracting pollinators while providing evergreen foliage in suitable climates.
French thyme typically grows 6–12 inches tall (up to 8 inches with flowers) and spreads 12 inches or more, making it perfect for herb gardens, borders, or containers. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5–9 (sometimes 4–9 with protection), preferring full sun and well-drained, sandy or rocky soil. Primarily used fresh or dried in cooking for seasoning meats, poultry, soups, stews, sauces, and marinades, it enhances dishes with its subtle, savory notes.
