Green Carpet Sale
Spring 2006 - Vol. 19 No.1

Soften the edges of patios and walkways with random plantings of creeping thyme. Most varieties of thyme tolerate foot traffic. The exception would be Wooly Thyme (Thymus
p. ‘Pseudolanguinosis’), which is better suited for edges.

This spring we will have four varieties of creeping thyme for sale. These tiny plants can be easily nestled into sandy cracks. Choose from the following:

Thymus praecox ‘Minus’ - Tiny, dark-green leaves and grows in a tight mounding habit

Thymus p. ‘Pseudolanguinosis’ - Wooly thyme has furry, grey-green foliage and a gentle spreading habit.

Thymus p. ‘Pink Chinta’ - Soft, hairy, gray-green foliage with delicate, pastel pink flowers.

Thymus serphyllum - Most commonly used creeping thyme. Spreads well with bright pink flowers. Can be sheared after blooming to encourage rebloom.
