Set of 3 or 6 Thymus Precompa Thyme Herb Plants, Hardy Perennial Culinary Herb, Outdoor Garden Ready, 1 Litre Root-Ball

Bring flavour and fragrance to your garden with this collection of three Thymus vulgaris 'Precompa' thyme plants. Precompa is a specially selected compact form of common thyme, prized for its dense, bushy habit and richly aromatic foliage. Perfect for culinary use, this versatile herb adds depth to a wide range of dishes and is a staple of any kitchen garden.

With its neat, low-growing form, Precompa thyme is equally at home tucked into a sunny border, planted along a path edge, grown in a rockery, or kept in patio containers. During summer, small clusters of pale lilac-pink flowers appear, providing a valuable nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. As an evergreen perennial, it offers year-round interest and a reliable supply of fresh leaves for the kitchen.

What's Included:

• 3 or 6 x Thymus vulgaris 'Precompa' plants, each supplied in a 1 litre pot with an established root ball, ready for planting out or potting on.

Growing Tips:

Plant in a sunny, sheltered position in well-drained soil. Thyme thrives in light, free-draining conditions and does not enjoy sitting in waterlogged ground. After flowering, a light trim helps maintain a compact shape and encourages fresh new growth. Water sparingly once established — thyme is drought tolerant and prefers drier conditions.
