EXTRA INFORMATION:

The genus name Thymus and common name Thyme are thought to derive from the Greek "thymon", to fumigate, in reference to the plant's use as incense.

Thyme, native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa but widely cultivated, is a semi-woody plant growing to between 6 and 8 inches in height. It has small, flat, oval leaves that range in color from gray-green to dark green. The tiny, aromatic, hermaphroditic flowers are lilac, white, or pink in color and grow in loose spikes. Thyme prefers light, warm, well-drained, and somewhat dry soil, along with full sun. It requires little care in the garden.

Thyme is a common culinary spice and also aids in the digestion of fatty foods. Thyme-infused honey is excellent. 

In ancient Roman times thyme was burned to deter scorpions. It is still used for embalming. The essential oil is used in perfumery, cosmetics, and soaps.
