Thymus
The genus Thymus contains about 350 species of aromatic perennial herbaceous plants and subshrubs in the family Lamiaceae, native to temperate regions in Europe, North Africa and Asia. Several, but not all, members of the genus are cultivated as culinary herbs.

Thymus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) insect species including Chionodes distinctella and the Coleophora case-bearers C. lixella, C. niveicostella, C. serpylletorum and C. struella (the latter three feed exclusively on Thymus).

PLANTING: Set out 8 to 12 inches apart in full sun, preferably in a well-drained soil of low fertility.
MAINTENANCE: Keep soil moist but not soggy until plants establish themselves. A winter mulch is recommended. Some species often require cutting back in spring to keep them compact and bushy.
