A lady gave me a tiny chunk of this Thyme years ago, from her lake house. I took it home, planted it at edge of my flower bed, next to the rock border, and 6-7 years later it’s spread all way around my flower bed border. It crawls over the rocks, it’s like a big sponge. The first few years I just cut out a few patches and planted them along the border. By far the hardiest, easy to grow plant ever.

@@plantvibrations I just found out what it was yesterday, when I used plant identification app on my iphone. I knew it was some type of herb, I was thinking rosemary for some reason, but nope it was Mother of Thyme. The only “problem” I’ve noticed with this plant is that certain weeds, (wild carrots)and grass, can grow inside it and can lead to the Thyme thinning out a bit in those areas if left unchecked.

I tossed some seed around the yard several years ago, it's growing wildly now in sunny areas, every year spreads a little more. Never needs mowing. In full bloom it's full of bees and butterflies, I often just sit there and watch them all. At the same time I tossed some other groundcover seeds around, the creeping thyme was the one that really took off.

Thank you so much for the explanations and demonstration in this video👍I researched for a non-invasive, pollinator-friendly, mosquito-repelling ground covering that will flourish in my area (zone 6b) and landed on creeping thyme. I have purchased seeds in different colors and my goal is to transform the lawn strips between the sidewalk and street and a majority of the front yard with them (wildflowers, herbs, and alliums for the rest). The neighbor lady told me I was welcome to also transform her lawn into creeping thyme. I mow her lawn and ours (she is elderly) and my hope is to eventually stop mowing altogether and just have a very low maintenance pollinator paradise. 🤞

Good thyme seeds beyong culinary thyme are hard to find. But if you manage to do it, it's the best way to grow it fast. For couple years I tried to propagate thyme by division and cuttings and it was slow growing plants. For some reason seedlings make 2-3 times for green mass than cuttings especially first year.

After many, many days and hours, there are still rocks in this bed. I am thinking of putting ground cover similar to this. Will they grow with the rocks? Or does it need good clean soil? The soil is kind of sandy...I live near the Gulf. Thank you and I really enjoyed your video and suggestions.

hi jessica, the first thing to consider is the drainage. if the drainage is good in those areas then the preparation is nothing more than simply planting in the thyme. if those areas don't drain well, it would be a good idea to mix in some small gravel into the areas while you are planting in, that will ensure they don't stay waterlogged while theyre getting established. hope that helps

An article I read on creeping thyme advised to prune it back to 1/2 inch in the spring to encourage new blossoms. Is there a lazy way to do this like with a lawn mower?
@plantvibrations
@plantvibrations 3 жыл бұрын
you can definitely use a blade trimmer if you have it, without mowing all the way to the ground. trimming it back the first couple seasons is helpful for creating thicker growth, but by the 3rd year its not necessary, imo.

yeah absolutely. temperature-wise it will be no problem, they can handle well into the negatives. you may need some supplemental irrigation though; they are generally considered quite drought tolerant, but i know that area can be exceptionally dry.

Great video, but I have a few questions... 1) Can I plant in an area that already has grass and have it push out/take over the grass, or do I have to first take the grass out? 2) Will it crowd out other vegetation if I also want to have an on-ground vegetable garden? 3) How difficult is it to pull up to till if I choose to use a space it's taken over? 4) How child friendly is it? Thank you :-)

For a couple weeks each year when it's in bloom, it will attract LOTS of bees, so warn your kids not to go barefoot at those times. Most of these bees will look VERY SMALL, about the size of a mosquito. IF you mow, do it 2 weeks or more after the flowers "disappear" and do NOT collect the clipping, which will have ripe seed.
