Thyme ‘Silver Queen’

Thyme ‘Silver Queen’ is a highly decorative culinary herb cultivated primarily for the striking variegation of its grey-green leaves, which are edged in creamy silver. This distinct foliage possesses a lovely, lemon-scented aroma that is released when the plant is brushed against or harvested. It is traditionally used as both an ornamental edging plant and a kitchen herb, perfect for adding a bright, citrusy note to fish dishes, roasted vegetables, and herbal teas.

This plant is typically grown as a hardy, bushy evergreen mound that provides year-round colour and structure in the garden. It is tough and generally frost-tolerant, though it can suffer in winter if the soil is too wet. For the best results and to maintain the vibrant silver variegation, plant it in a location with full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and demands poor, free-draining soil, as it will rot quickly if kept in damp or heavy conditions.
