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.
