How cols of temperatures can thyme tolerate?

Thyme is a hardy herb that can tolerate temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C) and can survive brief periods of frost. However, prolonged exposure to extremely cold conditions can damage the plant. It thrives best in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, making it more suited to warmer climates. In colder regions, it’s advisable to provide some protection, like mulching or bringing potted thyme indoors during harsh winter months.
