Silver Edge Thyme plant is a lovely ornamental but also edible herb. Thyme plants in general have small rounded delicate leaves and produce flowers that range from white to pink. The Silver Edge Thyme plant with its silvery white edge makes it a wonderful plant for adding dimension to gardens and planters. The plants only reach 6-10 inches tall and grow in a nice rounded mound shape, which make them ideal for landscaping borders, fragrant ground covers, between stepping stones, or tucked into containers. It has a subtle lemony flavor that makes it a great seasoning for chicken and fish dishes. Use it fresh or dried in vegetable dishes, potatoes, cottage cheese, soups and sauces and gravies. Thyme is also said to soothe coughs, and stomach aches and improve digestion, be a good addition to baths, and has cleansing effects for facial skin. This hard-working plant also attracts pollinating bees to your garden but repels mosquitoes!
