Should you cut off flowers on thyme plant?

Yes, you should cut off flowers on a thyme plant if you want to encourage more leaf growth and maintain a bushier appearance. Flowering can divert energy from leaf production, which is typically the desired part of the plant for culinary use. If you prefer the aesthetic or want to allow the plant to flower for pollinators, you can leave them, but regular pruning will enhance the plant's overall health and yield.
