Thymus cv. Mint Thyme

Mint Thyme planted in between flagstones
 

Mint Thyme is one of the four thymes we most often recommend for planting between flagstones. The three mint thymes planted in the picture above measure about six inches in diameter and are about three months old. They were planted in June and are quickly growing to fill in the space between the stones. After planting, they were mulched heavily with small ground bark to suppress weeds and conserve moisture.  Watering well the first month or so is key to getting thymes to establish themselves quickly. Thymes have fairly shallow root systems so watering well during hot summer months is crucial to maintain a nice even green cover. While we love the way mint thyme looks, it does not have a fragrance.

It is easy to see why this small low growing thyme is a favorite. The other three thymes we like to use in between stepping stones are White Moss Thyme, Pink Chintz Thyme and Elfin Thyme.

Mint Thyme is often included in our economical Flagstone Filler Assortment.
