Thyme ‘Ayelet - Pot Type’ Seeds - 50-100+ Seeds.

(Thymus vulgaris 'Aylet')

Thyme ‘Aylet’ is a refined and aromatic variety of common thyme, valued for its strong flavour, compact growth, and excellent drought tolerance. It features tiny grey-green leaves on woody stems and produces soft pink to mauve flowers in summer, attracting bees and beneficial insects.

This variety grows to around 20–30 cm tall and forms a dense, low-growing mound—ideal for borders, herb gardens, rockeries, or container planting. ‘Aylet’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal water once established. Its robust, savoury flavour makes it perfect for roasting, marinades, stuffings, and herb blends.

A tough and tidy culinary herb that’s as ornamental as it is useful in the kitchen.
