Thymus Cultivars

The following cultivars are generally available from British and Continental nurseries and garden centres. However I do not propagate all of them for sale, nor do I grow some of the Continental cultivars. These can be obtained using the PPP Index or Planten Vinder which are the Continental equivalents of the RHS Plant Finder.

l = low.: Unsuitable for growing in paving. Suitable for path edging and growing in thyme beds.
