perfumed

Essential in any garden, thyme is an herb originally from Eurasia. Perennial and hardy, key ingredient in Provencal spices, melliferous, the list goes on as to why this plant is so valuable in a garden. Egyptians and Etruscans mixed thyme in with their ointments to embalm their deceased. Greeks would burn it in front of altars and houses because they believed it had purifying properties. In the language of flowers, thyme is a sign of bravery, long-lasting love, creativity, dynamism, and physical resistance. In infusion, with a bit of lemon, it is said to be a miracle cure for minor respiratory infections. Thyme also has stimulating, desinfecting, expectorant, digestive, and several other properties, making it a great ally for the winter.   Package: 200 seeds
