Thyme 'Caborn Wine & Roses'

Thyme 'Caborn Wine and Roses' is a popular perennial herb, famously prized for its beautiful, mat-forming habit and its stunning display of vibrant rosy-pink flowers. The primary part used for its culinary value is its tiny, aromatic leaves, which provide a classic, robust, and earthy thyme flavour essential for seasoning meats, stews, and vegetables. However, its edibility doesn't stop there; the attractive, bright pinkish-rose flowers are also edible and make a lovely, fragrant garnish.

When it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, low, spreading perennial, but it has very specific, non-negotiable requirements. It is extremely fussy about its light conditions and absolutely must have a location in full, direct sun to thrive and flower profusely. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with soil that is exceptionally well-drained, as it strongly dislikes "wet feet" and is very drought-tolerant once established. As an added benefit to the garden, its attractive flowers are known to be a major favourite of bees.
