Rachel’s top thymes

Rachel’s top thymes

Rachel’s desert island herb is thyme and with so many types to choose from there is a thyme plant out there for everyone. Thyme likes warm, sunny conditions and excellent drainage, so they are well suited to growing in a pot. Bees adore the flowers and with evergreen foliage they really are a plant with lots to give.

Rachel has included these thyme varieties in her container displays.

Thymus pulegioides ‘F´Ç³æ±ô±ð²â’
Thymus pulegioides ‘A³Ü°ù±ð³Ü²õ’
