Thyme Caborn Wine and Roses

Thyme Caborn Wine and Roses is a truly special and highly unusual variety of Thyme.  It is low growing, producing a carpet-like effect as you plant this in a border or container. Plus, it's fantastic for living walls or spaces which benefit from sprawling plants.

One of the most show-stopping qualities of this herb is its vibrant flush of flowers which appear in the spring and tempts bees in to dine out in delight. The blooms are spectacular in a gorgeous, rich shade of pink which contrasts against the deep green foliage.

Thyme is an incredibly versatile herb which can be used fresh, dried to store for later, used to flavour oils and butters or frozen for freshness. With such a fantastic selection of varieties on offer, you could create a truly mesmerising herb patch of thyme alone, and Caborn Wine and Roses would certainly be one of the most eye-catching.

We've created a handy guide on how to grow thyme to help you get the best from your plants from the moment they arrive at your door. In here you'll find a wealth of expertise from planting positions to propagation to make the most of your herbs.

• Delivery options explained

   

  Pre-order delivery option

  From January to March, customers are able to pre-order herbs for delivery later in spring, to ensure that you receive the unusual varieties that you desire. We begin dispatch of pre-orders from late March, once all items in your order are available for dispatch in one delivery, as some varieties will be available a little later in the year than others. You will receive notification when this dispatch takes place along with tracking information but if you would like an estimated delivery date after placing your pre-order, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  Order Now delivery option

  From late March to autumn, herbs will be available for immediate dispatch subject to their availability. We dispatch our fresh potted herbs Monday-Wednesday each week to avoid postal delays over the weekend. We aim to dispatch all fresh herb orders in less than seven days, i.e. an order placed Thursday-Sunday would likely be dispatched the following Monday. Orders placed Monday-Tuesday, we would aim to dispatch by the Wednesday of that week.

  If you have a specific dispatch date that you would like us to aim towards, please do not hesitate to let us know. We can't guarantee a particular date but will strive to do our best for you.

  Dispatch information

  All orders are dispatched via a next day courier, ensuring that your herbs reach you promptly and in good health. For customers in the Highlands and Channel Islands this is a 48-hour delivery service. (From 2021 onwards we are unable to ship to Northern Ireland.)

  Please note that we do not offer a collection service. Our site is not suitable to receive visitors and this is a rule that we have to apply universally out of respect to our neighbours and family.

   

  Packaging

  
  We aim to reuse packaging as much as possible. Your herbs will be delivered in taupe recyclable pots. We are moving over to using plastic blister cell packaging which contains at least 90% recycled content and is itself 100% recyclable. These things are important to you and are important to us.
