SPARKLING BRIGHT THYME 4in

Hello there, sensory garden enthusiast and culinary herb lover! Are you seeking a delightful groundcover or a charming addition to your herb collection that offers both beautiful foliage and an enchanting aroma right here in your Prescott garden? Let me introduce you to 'Thyme Sparkling Bright' (Thymus serpyllum 'Sparkling Bright'), a truly captivating variety of creeping thyme known for its variegated leaves and tiny, charming flowers. Imagine its vibrant green and cream foliage creating a luminous carpet, releasing a wonderful fragrance every time you brush past it!

'Thyme Sparkling Bright' is a low-growing wonder, typically reaching only about 2 to 4 inches tall but spreading to cover an area of 12 to 18 inches. This makes it an excellent choice for filling in gaps between stepping stones, edging pathways, cascading from containers, or serving as an aromatic groundcover. It absolutely thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to maintain its best variegation and vigor, though it can tolerate a bit of afternoon shade in our intense Arizona summers. Good news for those who share their gardens with wildlife – most thymes are quite deer and rabbit resistant due to their aromatic oils. To ensure your 'Thyme Sparkling Bright' flourishes and forms a lush, aromatic carpet, plant it in well-draining soil. Then, apply a light layer of Watters Premium Mulch around it, taking care not to bury the low-growing foliage. This will help suppress weeds and conserve soil moisture. While thyme isn't a heavy feeder, a light application of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in the spring can encourage robust growth and help it spread beautifully. Get ready to enjoy the visual appeal and the delightful scent this 'Sparkling Bright' Thyme brings to your garden!
