Here in lower 7A, the Thyme that was so doing so well last summer has of

Any suggestions on how this should be wintered so that we can enjoy
fresh
herbs next spring and summer?

FACE awaiting jokes on setting it back 1 hour on the last Saturday in
October.


Thyme comes in both annual and perennial flavors. Make sure which one
you have before putting any effort into trying to overwinter it.

Thyme comes in a mat-like perennial form commonly used as a groundcover and
in shrubby forms ranging in height from a few inches to a few feet with
winter hardiness ranging from zone 4 upwards. But it is most definitely
evergreen and it is most definitely NOT an annual. Perhaps you were thinking
of salvia?
