3. Best plants for bees: Thyme
A very fragrant herbed hardy clothes
Thyme is a drought tolerant perennial, that can be found growing on mountain highlands. It prefers a well-drained light soil, which should not be too rich in nutrients which will only make the plant 'leggy' and loose its compact shape. Being a native of the Mediterranean it needs a place in full sun.
Thyme reaches a height of 30 cm (12in) and is best suited either to the rock garden or the front of a border. I tend to keep it in a pot in the kitchen in winter and grow it amongst other herbs in a planter outside the back door, which gets the sun for most of the day. It is also in easy reach when I want to cut some for cooking.
Thyme is widely cultivated for its strong flavour, which is due to its content of thymol. Thyme can be deep frozen and retains its flavour on drying better than many other herbs.
