Long-Lived Perennial is a Mainstay of American Cuisine!
Small
grayish leaves and tiny summer blooms are attractive in the perennial

Thyme
is essential in French cooking, as well as in almost any American dish,
including casseroles, most vegetables, soups, stuffing's, and sauces. The
aromatic, warming flavor holds up well during long cooking times.
English Thyme is a 12- to 18-inch-tall and
24-inch-wide woody perennial shrub. The narrow stems are lined with tiny
gray-green leaves and topped with equally tiny white to pale pink
flowers in summer.
Grow in well-drained soil in full sun. Thyme
dislikes wet foliage, so surrounding the plant with a layer of gravel
can help this. This variety is often planted near vegetables to help
control flea beetles and several cabbage pests
