Thymus Serpyllum Var. Sylvestris
Wild thyme, scientifically known as Thymus serpyllum var. sylvestris, is a low-growing herbaceous plant native to Europe and parts of Asia. It thrives in rocky soils and sunny environments, often found in woodland edges and meadows. Its fragrant leaves and small pink or white flowers make it a popular choice for gardens and herbal use. This versatile plant has been valued for centuries for its medicinal and culinary properties. Despite its modest appearance, wild thyme plays an important role in supporting local ecosystems and biodiversity.
