Umuthi Thyme Winter Growing Seeds

Features

Description

Umuthi Thyme (Winter) Growing Seeds grow hardy, fragrant Thymus vulgaris plants with small savoury leaves that hold their flavour well in cooking. This perennial herb prefers full sun and very well-draining, low-fertility sandy or rocky soil. It stays compact in beds, pots, rockeries, and herb borders, making it a useful choice for smaller growing spaces.

Fresh or dried thyme is a reliable kitchen standby for roasts, vegetables, soups, stocks, breads, infused oils, butter, and vinegar. Why we love it: Winter thyme is tough, compact, and richly aromatic. Once established, it is a low-fuss herb that fits beautifully into sunny pots and garden edges while giving the kitchen a steady supply of classic thyme flavour.
