English Thyme Garden Start Plant (small pot)

English Thyme plant from D’Ann Kurhan of Kurhan’s Plant Co. in the Alliance area of North Texas. Small, aromatic, and wonderfully useful, this perennial culinary herb produces evergreen leaves and delicate violet flowers while fitting easily into gardens and containers of nearly any size.

Sourcing & practices

D’Ann grows each plant from organic heirloom seed in OMRI Listed Organic soil. Everything from Kurhan’s Plant Co. is grown by D’Ann in the Alliance area using small-scale, sustainability-minded practices that limit pesticide use and disposable plastics. Her USA-made, BPA-free pink pots are returnable for a discount.

What to expect

English Thyme grows well in garden beds, containers, or a sunny windowsill indoors. Once established, it tolerates both heat and frost, making it a dependable herb that can remain part of the garden season after season.

Snip the aromatic leaves for roasted vegetables, soups, sauces, marinades, meats, breads, and herb blends. Its compact growth and perennial nature make it especially useful for gardeners who want a plant that works hard without taking up much room.

About the grower

D’Ann describes Kurhan’s Plant Co. as a one-woman operation built around her love of planting seeds and sharing unusual plants. She grows on a small scale, often quite literally potting on the porch, because she wants to give local gardeners access to heirloom and less-common varieties.

For D’Ann, planting an heirloom seed creates a connection between generations: one small act in a home garden that can continue through saved seeds, shared plants, and future gardens.
