(Garden Thyme, Common Thyme)  Evergreen woody subshrub native to the Mediterranean and selected in England.  Excellent as a spice, this is the variety that is highest in the active essential oils and is considered official.  The herb is not only tasty when added to meat dishes, egg dishes and vegetarian entrees, but makes a tasty tea (dry it first).  This cultivar produces perfect mound-shaped (hemispherical) plants that live up to 20 years.  Prefers full sun and dryish soils. We mulch our’s with sand or pumice.  Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart.
