Thyme: the very smell of it makes you hungry, and indeed, it’s said to be a great way to tempt people with limited appetite. The plantlets are neat, low growing, bushy and attractive, making it a great edging for ornamental garden beds. Once they’re up and growing, thyme plants are quite drought tolerant, and as perennials, you’ll enjoy several seasons of appetizing aroma.
