Variegated cream and silver leaves make Silver thyme one of the more unusual thyme selections. It's an ornamental variety you can interplant with low growing flowers in your perennial or herb border. Silver thyme also looks good in pots, planters, and window boxes. Can be planted outdoors in the Autumn in Zones 6-10. Gardeners in northern zones should keep the tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months.
