French
The cascading stems and tiny gray-green leaves are a focus in any herb garden and are also indispensable in the kitchen. Strongly aromatic, French Thyme adds something special to soups, stews, and casseroles. Its piquant flavor with a faint clove aftertaste blends particularly well with Lemon and Basil. It is essential in French bouquets garnis and pâté, and popular in Greek, Cajun, and Creole dishes.
Golden Lemon
Tiny, fragrant leaves have distinctive gold edges. A gorgeous addition to herb gardens both in containers and in the ground. Livens up salad, soup, fish. A great choice for tea.
