Thymus nitidus ‘Peter Davis’ is an exceptionally versatile plant which performs well as an herb and as a low-growing perennial which can adorn path edges, gravel gardens and containers. What’s more it can be used in the kitchen to add its distinct and delicious flavour to soups, stews and stuffings. What better than to have the beauty of this dainty perennial in your garden alongside the beneficial savoury seasoning it provides! Thymus nitidus ‘Peter Davis’ brings a profusion of dainty pink flowers, above aromatic grey-green foliage from March to August each year. Not only do these flowers provide valuable sustenance for visiting pollinators, both the blooms and the foliage will release their delicious, herby fragrance when brushed past or walked upon. A hardy (H5), evergreen perennial which is beneficially drought tolerant once established. Plants prefer a site in well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay or acid based.
