Thymus praecox
Thymus praecox is also known as Creeping Thyme or Mother of Thyme and my gosh you have no thyme to waste if you are looking for an easy-growing, low maintenance, flowering, edible groundcover! She is a timely favourite in cottage and kitchen gardens in pots, between pavers, or as a border plant.
Incredible, healthy tubestock plants or your money back.
We just ran out :(

Description
The Creeping Thyme is a great plant for when you don't have thyme on your hands but want a pretty groundcover that is also edible. Great in between pavers, as an edging plant, or in pots, this baby will not disappoint. She has tiny dark green leaves that grow on trailing stems and tiny purple flowers that appear in spring through to summer (what wonderful thyme of the year). She is bee attracting and is a great herb to use in cooking or as a medicinal herb.

Garden Coach: Week 1
Keeping your plants alive the first 30 days is critical. Don't worry, I’ll guide you through
Let me kick off with watering.
Succulents don’t like a lot of water and long periods of drought won’t hurt yours one bit, they’re the best type of plant for forgetful folk, or those that are away from home a fair bit, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t given him a drink yet. One of the most common mistakes people make is watering them too much! The best potting mix for succulents is a well draining one. Using a good potting mix of porous soil for succulents is super important to prevent overwatering. Water your succulent when the soil is dry. Soak it thoroughly rather than giving it regular sips and always empty excess water from the saucer as it will rot the roots. If you’re struggling try one of our self-watering pots they make a plant killer look like a pro! In winter succulents need even less water. You can touch the soil each week and if it’s even a bit damp then leave it alone and try again the following week. Succulents need little moisture and although it seems cruel, a sure-fire way to kill your beauty is by watering it frequently. This will turn it to mush.
If in doubt, leave it without.
Don't leaf just yet!
