SimplyHerbs™ Thyme is PanAmerican Seed’s Thymus vulgaris selection, listed as Winter Thyme. The grower page gives summer bloom, sun exposure, a spreading habit, and a 12–18 inch height and width.
## Growing conditions
The product profile lists a 12–16 inch spacing and a 12–18 inch mature height and width. PanAmerican describes a mounded habit in its grower facts and a spreading habit in the product information. Common thyme is an aromatic culinary herb; NC State describes full-sun growth in well-drained sandy or rocky soil and notes that its flowers attract bees and butterflies.

## Maintenance
Trim the plant if it becomes leggy and cut it back in early spring or summer. For culinary harvest, take leafy growth before flowering and leave woody stems and several inches of growth for recovery.
