Primrose Thyme Pulegioides Archers Gold Creeping Thyme 9Cm Pot Herb Garden Plant

An extremely low-growing thyme. Position: full sun Soil: well-drained neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: June to July Hardiness: fully hardy Tiny, pale pink flowers appear in summer amongst small, grey, woolly foliage. This is one of the woolliest thymes available and as its low growing is ideal as an unusual ground cover. Unfortunately it's not suitable as a culinary thyme, but the flowers are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinating insects. Great for growing between paving or in cracks in stone walls. Garden care: Susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils. If necessary, lightly trim to remove dead flowers, and cut back harder after flowering to keep them compact and bushy.
