PLANT
OF THE WEEK:
What better time for Mother of Thyme?
Mother of thyme is a creeping, woody-based
thyme that is primarily used as a small ground cover,
but also has limited culinary value. Numerous stems
form a flat mat (2-6" tall) with tiny, rounded, fuzzy,
blue-green leaves. Leaves are aromatic, but strength
of scent varies according to habitat and season. Clusters
of tiny, tubular, whitish to rose-purple flowers appear
in early summer. Unlike the species, the stems of
this subspecies are hairy. Flowers are attractive
to bees. Plants are evergreen in mild winters. |
