French Thyme

Thymus vulgaris
French thyme is a close cousin to English thyme.  The leaves of French thyme are narrower and are distinctly grayer.  It is sweeter than English thyme and has a slightly more pungent foliage.  I find it indispensable in French cooking.  There is almost no stew, soup, or ragout that does not call for a pinch or two.  French thyme is an excellent culinary thyme that should be included in every garden plan.
