Thymus vulgaris (95 days) Winter Thyme is a winter hardy variety growing up to 8" tall. I love using thyme is hanging baskets or even better between walkway stones. Used in salads, beans, soups, stews, sauces, pickles, and many Mediterranean dishes. Excellent for poultry and fish dishes too. If you step on it, the smell that embraces your feet is truly divine -- and medicinal as well, as it is anti-fungal.
