Growing German Winter Thyme
‘German Winter’ is an aromatic thyme prized for its strong savory flavor and wide range of culinary uses. Its fragrant foliage provides concentrated seasoning in a compact herb that pairs especially well with hearty dishes.
Start ‘German Winter’ indoors or sow directly where the season allows. Grow in a sunny, well-drained location and avoid keeping the soil overly wet once plants are established.
Begin harvesting once plants are established, cutting fresh stems or leaves as needed. Extra foliage can also be dried for longer storage.
Savory, aromatic, and versatile, ‘German Winter’ is excellent for sauces, stews, pickles, poultry, stuffing, roasted dishes, and seasoning blends.
