✨ Plant Highlights:
• Habit: Low-growing, spreading evergreen forming a neat mat
• Foliage: Aromatic, lemon-scented leaves with eye-catching silver margins
• Flowers: Small pale pink to lilac blooms in summer, loved by pollinators
• Ideal For: Rockeries, herb gardens, gravel beds, borders, and containers
• Position: Best in full sun for strongest flavour and colour

🌱 Planting & Positioning:
Plant in well-drained, light soil—this thyme does not tolerate waterlogging. Improve heavy soils with grit or use raised beds for best results. Position the root ball level with the soil surface and allow space for spreading growth, making it ideal for edging borders or trailing over walls and containers.

💧 Care & Maintenance:
Water regularly during establishment, then only occasionally as plants become drought tolerant. Allow soil to dry between watering and avoid excess moisture, especially in winter. Feed lightly in spring if needed, but avoid rich soils to maintain strong flavour and compact growth.

✂️ Pruning & Harvesting:
Trim lightly after flowering to keep a neat shape and encourage fresh growth. Harvest fragrant leaves throughout the year—perfect for enhancing fish, poultry, and vegetable dishes.
