Skip to product information
Wild Thyme (Thymus pulegioides) is a hardy, aromatic perennial herb valued for its broader leaves, rich fragrance, and clusters of rosy-purple summer flowers. Sometimes associated with lemon-scented forms, this species offers a pleasant herbal aroma and ornamental appeal.
Growing 4–8 inches tall and gradually spreading, Wild Thyme forms a dense, low mat that works beautifully as a ground cover, edging plant, or addition to herb gardens and rock gardens. In summer, it becomes covered in nectar-rich blooms that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.
Drought tolerant once established and thriving in sunny, well-drained soil, Wild Thyme is both practical and ornamental.
