Growing & using Silver Thyme

Silver Thyme leaves

Silver Thyme is edged with just the barest line of white.

Hi-Ho Silver Thyme leaves

While Hi-Ho Silver Thyme has greater irregular white variegation throughout the leaves.

Silver Thyme and Hi Ho Silver Thyme are delicious additions to any culinary herb garden. Both can be used in any recipe calling for Thyme.

Both make great container plants. Choose a well draining potting soil and give each plant a gallon of soil to start with. In a year or so, check to see if the roots are filling the container. If so, move up to a larger container.

If planting in the ground, be sure to give them room to spread. Or, keep their stems up off the ground so they don’t root and increase the width of the plants.
