Product Description
Compact, aromatic & beautifully textured—our thymes bring year-round scent, colour & culinary value to borders, containers & herb gardens.
Our Thyme Collection offers beautifully aromatic, compact herbs perfect for edging, rockeries, patio pots & sunny borders. You can choose from Thyme ‘Precompa’, known for its dense, deep green foliage & soft pink-lilac blooms; Lemon Variegated Thyme, with bright gold-edged citrus-scented leaves & early summer pink flowers; or the Growers Choice Mix, which may include ‘Precompa’, ‘Lemon Variegated’, ‘Doone Valley’ & traditional Garden Thyme for a varied blend of fragrances, colours & forms. Each variety provides low mounds or spreading mats of evergreen foliage that stay attractive year-round while releasing rich herbal scent when touched or brushed.
Each plant is supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established 1L rootball, expertly grown in premium peat-free compost for strong early establishment, richer foliage & reliable long-term performance. These real, outdoor-ready thyme plants are vigorous, well-rooted & delivered at the ideal size for planting straight into beds, pots or herb planters. Naturally drought-tolerant, low-maintenance & hardy in UK gardens, they thrive in full sun & well-drained soil with only light trimming after flowering.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What's the best compost for my flower bulbs?
We would recommend a compost that contains nutrients that last up to 6 months to promote strong, healthy roots, and often includes a wetting agent to improve water retention and drainage for a vibrant spring display.
Here's the perfect one: Click Here
How can I prevent my bulbs from rotting and ensure they bloom again?
Bulbs rot in wet soil! You must have light, well-drained soil. Work compost or organic matter 8-12 inches deep into the planting bed to ensure rapid drainage and aeration.
Plant most bulbs in full sun or part sun for the long-term energy recharge.
What is the most critical step for getting flowers next year after the current blooms fade?
Do not cut the foliage (leaves) after the flower dies. The green leaves need approximately 8 weeks to yellow and brown naturally. This post-bloom period is when the bulb recharges its energy (carbohydrates) for next year’s flower. Cutting them early causes bloom failure!
How deep should I plant my bulbs?
Plant bulbs roughly three times as deep as the bulb’s height (e.g., a 2-inch tall bulb should be planted 6 inches deep). This depth provides crucial thermal protection.
You'll find the exact specifications on the bulbs page/
Do you ship to Northern Ireland or the EU?
At present, we’re unable to ship to Northern Ireland due to post-Brexit regulations. The additional paperwork and costs involved would make it too expensive for customers.
We hope this situation will change in the near future.
